Woah, cool thing from NASA about that rover thing.

I have edited the post and removed the link. I understand it was intended to be a joke, April Fool's day and all, but it was in poor taste and over the line.

On the other hand, I think talk of possible punishment against Lomax is unwwarranted. Let's all just chalk it up to something that seemed like a good idea at the time, but in retrospect shouldn't have been done. I think we can all agree we've done Posts that we wish we hadn't.

We also don't as a policy delete threads. We edit out objectionable content when needed, but that's about it. It makes people suspicious when Posts or threads disapear with no explanation.

Just an FYI guys. Flash animations can execute malicious code, google that. I don't even have Macromedia Flash on my computer for just that reason.

Yea, well it was definatly NOT a virus or anything, in fact is it this funny thing that shows a fat woman dancing to funny music. And the stuff downloading was actually loading the web page. So it was not a virus and i dont even Know how to put viruses up or anything. So, if u took it the wrong way then fine.

If you (Lomax) spend any time in this forum you will figure out that your so called joke is not appreciated, hence the reason I said "lame". Everyone here jokes with each other, but we do try to do it in a mature manner. When I saw the amount of Posts you have made so far, I figured that you would get it over time...then I read your final thought **So, if u took it the wrong way then fine**...not very understanding on your part, so maybe you wont get it after all.

Yea well, it bombed.

I had watched it waiting for a punch line or funny ending... waiting... waiting... nothing.

The words were crass and offensive to some, then add in the insult to fat people.
It should not have been done, even with a warning.

April Fools day excuses the misdirection, not the content.

P.S. I am sure some of my jokes bombed or offended too.
Those who don't make mistakes, aren't doing anything.
