Animation
Brother chaps could animate Soap box Doiby--Grand theft auto 21:40, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Swear Alert
Say, shouldn't there be some kind of language warning on the page? There's at least one instance of profanity that I could remember in the script. JCM 02:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, but unfortunately it's only for interviews.
- ...To that end, I say it should be renamed to just "censored articles"! 'Cause I went and done it anyway! -- ■■ PURPLE WRENCH ■■ 21:32, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- C'mon, guys, gimme a break. It's one little word that you can hear on radio commercials these days. We don't need a notice, and we don't need a separate censored version. — It's dot com 14:31, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- I disagree. Regardless of the activity level this wiki is still visited by people of all ages who may react differently to the swear word. This, being a draft to a toon where the word in question is found in the stage directions, would never see the word make it to the toon itself. There is also our policy which we shouldn't ignore. While making a whole 'uncensored' version may be a bit much, something should be done to preserve the text and abide by the policy at the same time, even if it's a small language notice. --Stux 14:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Now, are we talking about the word "kick-assing" here? I think that we definitely do not need a censored version of this article, but we could put a
mild content warning at the beginning of the transcript. Homestar-Winner (talk) 18:18, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- First of all, why did you (It's dot com) remove the swear mark if you kept the censored page up? That in itself is very misleading. Second, does an inline warning make sense before the first sentence if it isn't until several sentences later?
- ...Third: I predict this section will be three times longer by the end of two days. -- ■■ PURPLE WRENCH ■■ 18:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
