    Opionion of offensive videos WOBP are promoting please

    What do you all think of the offensive videos on World of Ball Pythons? Specifically the "Mojo TV" videos. I normally enjoy watching the videos on that site with my nephews (age ranges 8-12). I start to watch the latest "Mojo TV" video and in the first 20 seconds the "N" word is stated, as well as the "P" word typically used as a slang term for the female genitalia. If you can't figure out what I mean head over to WOBP and check it out. Not only is there offensive language, but the guy is making "gangster bang bang" signals, smoking and drinking. I'll be the first to say we should all live the lives we want. If you want to drink and smoke and listen to that type of music, go for it. But don't put it in an "educational" video about the hobby. Not to mention the information provided in the video was horrible. Would you sit there and watch that video with your children?

    So what do you guys think? Should the WOBP videos be "NSFW?" I sent WOBP and email and never got a response. I also sent a FB message with no reply. Is this where this hobby is going?

    If you agree feel free to let them know. If I'm in the wrong let me know that too, I'm open to hear all opinions.

    Not sure if they actually think they are being cool or if its a joke. Either way it just comes off as odd/awkward. Completely inappropriate for an "educational" website.

    Not only is the music awful but the guys give me a bad vibe. Really doesn't give me a passionate hobby feel but more like they're "snake pimps" rolling in the dough. Degrading to the hobby if you ask me...

    happens all the time. people want to make their videos more interesting, but completely screw it up. yes they are trying to be cool, and they fail really badly.

    what a trainwreck of a video.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    my favorite music video is online again, its really nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0

    I can't watch the vids from where I'm at right now, but that does sound extremely inappropriate. Sad if it is dropping to that level because even with a few mistakes here and there on the site, it's still been one of the better reference sites around. I honestly thought when I first started reading your post that maybe someone had hacked the site and put up a vid like that, but I'm guessing that's not the case.

    No, you forgot the g, its Gangsta!

    But I agree. Totally gives off a really bad vibe and gives good owners/breeders a bad name.
    I've got quite a few...

    I just can't wait until they run out of things to talk about and stop making videos. Although I support rap music anyone with common sense would know that putting songs with all of those curses in an "educational" video is idiotic. I followed them on instagram for a while too until I got tired of the posts with stacks of money and stupidity about the "ball game" making them rich. Half of their videos arent even educational "look at this pinstripe banana, I put this pinstripe and this banana together and who wouldve guessed this guy came out!" Stfu already and leave the videos to the guys that knkw what theyre talking about and make sense

    Thank you all. I was hoping I was not the only one who was put off by this video. Why do they allow him to post these videos. I can barely watch more than thirty seconds of it. They need to ban this . His videos have no substance what so ever. Talk about a total waste of time. I have to turn the volume down because the so call music if I would call it that is totally wrong.

    I'm guessing the site gets paid to "feature" their videos? Has anybody else voiced their opinion to WOBP?
