Wow, I was expecting something a lot worse than that, actually. It was presented in a decent light, and I'm not exactly used to it. That's refreshing and pretty cool. Though, I do think that it's funny that we were mentioned over big sites like FA.

One of my YouTube videos was on the Chicago news a couple weeks ago. I didn't even know until someone else told me about it.


But yeah. It's neat that the forums got on TV. :P

I've been on TV twice before. Once for a news item on mental disability, and once for a TB outbreak in the school ...


So yeah, this is a step up, even if it's only the front of the site for a split second. I'll take what I can get :P
"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

FYI:

I emailed the show to express our thanks for such an unbiased viewpoint as shown below:

Hi,

I just wanted to send a quick email in regards to your showing of Attack of the Show on the 22nd October regarding the Furry Fetish.

As the lead administrator at the Furry Forums (http://www.thefurryforum.com) as featured briefly at the 1:52 mark on the video at http://g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/wtf/68824/The-Furry-Fetish.html it's nice to see an unbiased view of the fandom.

I just want to express my gratitude for the show, it is much appreciated.

They replied today with the following:

Quote from: G4TV
Glad you liked it (and that they made a fair showing of what is often a misrepresented fetish).

Feel free to link to/ embed the video on your site.
