Totallyrad should have known to turn off the comments when posting the video there, that way those 12 yr old kids can't drop the f-bomb all over it

I think Lary thinks T-rad was the original poster on youtube.
I don't believe that someone can turn off comments if they are posting a link to a youtube video, which is what was done here.

so that means the link shouldn't have been posted
given the comments are not in good taste to say the least

Right, you can post a video to youtube and turn off the comments so that those children over there don't play on it.

I did think you meant totallyrad was the original poster of the video on youtube .

Bottom line is if you see innapropriate stuff there for your grandma or kids to see, don't post a link to it Reason being we have children and Grandmas reading this forum

Sorry if I confused the issue

Ok, I was wanting to post a link to a youtube video as well and found this thread. Found profanity, so its a no go. How else could I get the video on the forum? I have it saved on my computer, but Im not a computer guru. Thanks, Travis

PM me the link, and I will put it on my little video page that will embed just the video instead of the whole youtube page with the bad comments.

Here is what it looks like:
