    There are a few things here:

    WOBP - I don't think they should have to screen every single video that shows up on the feed. If someone has a proven video that's moderately well put together and content-focused on ball pythons I think it has every right to be there. It may be in bad taste according to some people, but that's a matter of opinion. Overall I can see a reason why they would censor a specific video due to excessive cursing, maybe. This is the internet though...

    Mojo TV - I think they have every right to make their videos however they want. Is it in bad taste? Again, a matter of opinion. I would argue bad taste in some of the other 'big name' videos though as they occasionally do things like make sexist comments, taunt animals to bite at employees and have a laugh (stressing the animals we care about in a video is bad taste in my opinion), feeding videos (bad taste in my opinion), and the list goes on and on.

    As a reptile community, overall we are not the most politically correct crowd. I would say some of the culturally distasteful elements being highlighted on this particular video are not more damaging than some of the culturally distasteful elements on other videos where they play screaming death metal, act like jackasses, etc.

    Bottom line for me is this is the internet. Nobody is forcing you to partake. WOBP promises no specific family-friendly atmosphere on their site. I'm sure there is a comparable "World of Bald ________" which uses the same language being chastised here and offers up much more culturally distasteful content. Go whine about something else. A rap song intro to an educational video (the content there IS helpful and IS informative) should be the least of your concerns.


    Respectfully, my 2 cents.
