G4 AOTS Furry Weekend Atlanta~

General
So G4 finally put up their special on FWA 2011 last night! My good buddy
BitShep was featured, along with a ton of my buddies.
For the most part, they did a really awesome job. I had a lot of fun watching it :3
One tiny thing bothered me though, the little commentary on the porn stuff in the artist's alley. I felt that it was a bit tasteless and unnecessary, and because almost all of the video was focused on fursuits, it really didn't fit in with the rest of the video at all. Not to mention, they didn't mention anything about that area being restricted to people under the age of 18.
It wasn't a HUGE deal or anything, but it was enough that I decided to crop it out before posting it on my youtube page. You can find that here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5mYlgqREJY
Overall I'd say it was a positive article, even with the silly sextalk, and I'm glad we got to be a part of it.
Hope you guys enjoy it too! =3

I get why she said those things though. Just making a couple jokes to lighten the situation surrounding the yiff, and it's a big part of the fandom so there's no way they couldn't have added it in there. It was only a few seconds long though so overall I'd give the video a 9/10 :P
People think she called Bit a fox, though. :P She was just saying, "I'm gonna win."
They could have left the bit out about the porn sure, but I don't think it was that bad. Any concerned parents watching it might be set off, but I feel it's almost an unavoidable subject given just how much there is of it in the fandom especially at cons. Regardless, the bit about it honestly was very neutral and honestly just laughed at it more then anything else.
It is almost unnatural to completely deny the sexual aspect of the fandom. She did it in a funny way so to seem not disgusted.. I really appreciated that
But yeah I agree with ya on that porn thing. I also that it was kinda corny for them to add all those animal noise in the background. :P
Maybe from now on we should have an adults only section for the Dealer's Den. We do the same thing in the Art Gallery, so why not Dealer's Den.
Still the porn and yiff wasnt needed...just about every furry has seen it but its just like human porn...its everywhere,takes place at alot of places, but isnt part of everyones life.
But! I felt that they acted rather normal about seeing it, almost like they would in any other segment talking about porn and cracking jokes. I don't watch a ton of G4 but a lot of the times when I see a segment, it makes me groan when they mention anything involving sex in such a cliche way. This was no different to me. Either way it didn't bug me all that much and I applaud them!
oh, and the animal sounds were not necessary, lol.
