Who needs to go to the lib? Just watch folicking antics of Dave B(ickle) and Bloggerette Bondage Girls.

Would these tapes be found under Humor, Instructional or Documentary?

Ooh, I keep getting this '403 Forbidden' too... glad to hear I'm not the only one.
(hope I can post this)
Posted by: frustrated | October 04, 2004 at 06:55 AM
I got a '403 Forbidden' too - very unnerving for a "New B" like myself.
Posted by: reneviht | October 04, 2004 at 06:59 AM
Yeah, well if we can't post, at least we can enjoy some relaxing videos in the meantime.

'403 Forbidden'-- Isn't that the title to one of the library movies? It's a porno spoof of 'Fahrenheit 9-11'. 403 is the temperature at which herpes burns.
Posted by: Lou Bricant | October 04, 2004 at 07:02 AM
The only way I can post is by vhanging my nick and email...
Somebody fix this quick!

Key Quote: "We've pulled the collection until we review it so we know what we're dealing with," she said.
Posted by: reneviht | October 04, 2004 at 07:03 AM
"Unfortunately, our reviews determined that most of them were outtakes from Cher's 60th birthday party rehersal, so we decided to burn them. The auditors who determined this also requested that they be burned too, 'in order to seal away that terrible memory from the living.'"
Posted by: reneviht | October 04, 2004 at 07:10 AM
Got the Forbidden message too.
Me thinks my Dave Blog libary card has been cancelled - FOR LIFE!

just testing to see what message *I* get.
Posted by: judi | October 04, 2004 at 07:20 AM
Hey! Depending on how 'quality' the stuff is, I'd possibly volunteer to preview. Notice no one's mentioned what they'll do with the 'damaged' goods! Offering to take it home for 'disposal' should be considered a public service.
Posted by: kibby F5 | October 04, 2004 at 07:21 AM
A buddy of mine in high school had this same idea, but using a 16mm stag film, splicing the contents in the middle of educational movies
(okay so I'm a former AV nerd, okay?)
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | October 04, 2004 at 07:22 AM
He checked out one clever prank
But then he got his hand spanked
He just added porn
But oh! The scorn!
And now the collection is yanked!
Posted by: slowlayne | October 04, 2004 at 07:25 AM
That's ok MKJ until future students start to recognize their fathers.
Posted by: kibby F5 | October 04, 2004 at 07:29 AM
I'd like that job of reviewing all the tapes in the collection! Porn or no porn, 600 hours of watching movies for pay? Fantastic!

When doctored library porn is outlawed, only outlaws will have doctored library porn.
Posted by: Federal Duck | October 04, 2004 at 07:47 AM
I want to be the one that matches his home collection to those of the library's. And then vote on the top 100. And then sell them on eBay. And then have MKJ get me posted on Dave's Blog. And then like back to this tread.
My life would have a meaning.
Posted by: kibby F5 | October 04, 2004 at 08:06 AM
That should be "link" back to this thread.
MAN!

Why do this to library videotapes? Why not get Blockbuster videos and edit back in all the stuff they take out? Use your powers for good, people!
Posted by: rhealist | October 04, 2004 at 09:37 AM
If the phrase, "get a life" doesn't apply to this guy...
(GOT THE FORBIDDEN SCREEN TOO)
Posted by: PETER | October 04, 2004 at 09:49 AM
Actually, the guy who did this is suspected of doctoring rental tapes as well.
To all of which I say...dang it. I knew getting a DVD player was going to cut down on my enjoyment of movies!
I'm going to that library tomorrow. I'm kind of wondering if the've been swamped with requests to rent videos since this happened. I'm tempted to ask. But I'm afraid I'd get book-whipped.
Posted by: Angie | October 04, 2004 at 09:50 AM
Tina, another good one! The tapes were doctored and became sexable. And that's FORBIDDEN!

Posted by: peter | October 04, 2004 at 10:11 AM
So far the only way I've found to get around this stupid 403 is by making up completely bogus nicks and addresses. Hope I haven't just jinxed myself!
Bad 403! Shoo! Shoo!

Attention in the blog! Bangi triple-posted while under a 403 ban. And still she complains of frustration.
We are going to need to call in specialists.
Posted by: Deontologist | October 04, 2004 at 11:00 AM
Just to see if I am forbidden or not...

Try to cut them off at the canyon. We've got to research their insatiability! The world of, er, fruitflies will be better served if we know the genetic causes of this frustration despite documentable postings!

Earlier I attempted to post - I was tremendously, coffee-spewingly funny if I say so myself, so funny I was forbidden.
I don't remember what my post said, alas...
Posted by: jamester | October 04, 2004 at 12:30 PM
Curses! Foiled again!
Mankind (and I mean mankind) may never solve the mystery. It may be several thousand years before we find another with a genetic makeup allowing her to multipost under a 403 prohibition and still remain frustrated.
*sigh* back to the fruitflies.

Where is Joshkr when I need him?

*hands chocolate all round* Umm, let's not delve too deeply into where I got this, 'k?
You know, if we need another diversion, perhaps jamester could post another coffee-spewingly funny post. I think the shrubbery gave me hives.

Are you 403 Forbidden?
Have you ever been 403 Forbidden?

Is that... chocolate-covered bloglit? And what is that repetitive, and yet strangely compelling music?

"Jennie Alexander, library director for Mount Zion, said the library became aware of the problem on Sept. 24, and staff there will review all 2,700 tapes in the library's collection, which could take 600 to 900 man hours."
Of course, that's if Joshkr is the man in question. If it's a woman it could take maybe... three hours tops (unless it's Tina, of course).
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | October 04, 2004 at 02:34 PM
Actually joshkr, I was hoping you could be the distraction. I had to resort to throwing copper.
*ouch*
Nobody mentioned that for chocolate to be soft enough to pour, it also must be . . . *EEEEOOOWW*
Rhea, you can hear that music? I thought it was in my head!
Posted by: Deontologist | October 04, 2004 at 02:47 PM
Okay, now in English.
When I attempted to post a shorter, edited version of the above, I too received the "403 Forbidden" message.
I did something that I don't usually do. I first previewed the post. (I wanted to make sure the bold tag worked.) Then I tried to post it. Then I got the error.
Did the rest of you preview first as well? Could that be the common thread?
Posted by: Trystan Shout | October 04, 2004 at 03:19 PM
pReview? What maks
you thingk I actully preview?
That can be done?
Hmmm. No, I've 403s without previewing.

This is a test of the emergency posting network...
Posted by: Monsoon | October 04, 2004 at 06:38 PM
Interesting. Some posts go through, but others don't. Those damned terrorists have sabotaged the blog!
Anyway...
"Police learned the name of the man who last checked out the tapes after obtaining a court order..."
The police had to obtain a court order???
Librarian: "Hello, I'd like to report a case of vandalism."
Police: "Okay, can you give us any information that might help apprehend the suspect?"
Librarian: "Not without a court order!"

I like to say, if you're going to get arrested for it, why not go the whole way? Why did he just put the stuff at the END of the tapes? Except when it's Monty Python, nobody watches 'till the credits anymore.
