I'm really sorry if this is a bit odd, because I don't actually know if anything is wrong, but this thread:

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=524715

links to a video in the OP regarding the beheading of the American hostage. There is a warning about its content, and it describes what happens.

I watched it as far as the guy being blindfolded, but I couldn't watch any more. If there is a Mod with a stronger stomach than me, perhaps they should check it out.

I watched enough, suffice it to say that it should be removed.

:(

They divert to an interview just as the boy is about to start slicing. No actual gore is shown as far as I can tell, and if pictures of Saddam in the noose were OK, this would seem to be similar. Up to execution, but not the execution itself.

ok, I'm happy to take your word for that.

I'm afraid I don't have it in me to even risk watching something like that. I wouldn't normally waste time reporting something I hadn't even seen, but the way the thread creator is talking, and the way the website sets it up, made me think it might be worse.

Do they? I stopped just about there, the kid was making sawing motions.

I watched it through after Fass said it was ok. It definately shows the boy starting to saw, but it's not clear if he's actually touching the man at this point.

It's a fairly violent video, even if it doesn't actually show blood, it has to be said.

Ah, very good. Well, consider my complaint withdrawn :)

I dunno. People get away with that exploding head guy, so I doubt this is outside the bounds of what's allowed.

Whether or not it SHOULD be outside the bounds is a different question.

It should be taken down...it isn't particuarly nice. And after all, the site states you have to be 18 to watch the video, and this is a PG-13 board.

Link removed.

Good rule of thumb: if you have to warn (or if there is a warning) that you need to be 18+ to view, or it's Not Safe For Work, DON'T POST IT.

Thanks to all the people debating in the thread who had the sense not to quote it in their responses.
