Apologies guys. I didn't make the video and in an effort to get content out as fast as possible, I posted without thinking about it. Despite the fact that everyone was purely joking around, I do agree that it's distasteful for it to appear in a video. I fixed the source file on vimeo. It's just the send now. I appreciate the feedback.
is it true you like traversing?

As the thread starter, my follow up two penneth is thus:Agreed the camera man is the number one dickhead with the the random guy and then CT as knobheads equal 2nd, but never the less it could have been edited and posting it on your blog = condoning the contents.I am not personally offended by the comments but I think them unpleasant and the world does not need any more mindless misogynism than it already has. Rape is real, it is mostly perpetrated by men against women and anything which normalises it or makes it less socially unacceptable is bad.I don't really care how many beaver jokes you make at the Cave, or how climbing with the Catterals would turn me pale. I just think that behavior such as on the video is crass and stupid and putting it on a high profile video that will probably be of interest to a huge number of people is short sighted.I don't think their actions will directly effect the number of rapes, but I think highly profile people who may be sources of inspiration for others posting such material up helps to create an atmosphere that is less inclusive for all individuals, and that can only be bad.I don't start crying when people post about a problem having rapey holds or what have you but I wish they wouldn't. I sometimes wish people would consider how their actions might positively or negatively impact on the wider world outside their own personal experiences. Here endeth my thoughts on lads joking about rape.

Great response Carlo, and great send. Shark, now this is all fixed etc can we lock the thread and maybe even delete it so that it doesn't show up if Carlo's name is Googled?
