Even if it did, the "Lounge" would be the worst possible place for threads to post "cute" or "uplifting" videos, because in a real lounge, like what you'd find in an airport or hospital, there would already be a TV mounted on the wall and blaring whatever the staff thinks you want to see, or whatever the local real estate companies bribe them to put on. Sure, you can get up and turn off the TV, or (if they've disabled the off-switch) pull the plug, assuming you can even reach the plug. But then, other people in the lounge will freak out and stare at you (assuming they don't applaud you, which is what I would do) and make you feel extremely uncomfortable. And then the staff are just going to turn the thing back on anyway, possibly while you're still standing there feeling awkward because of all the people STARING. AT. YOU! Is this really the sort of thing you want? Everyone staring at you, like you're some sort of crazy person, when all you really want is some peace and quiet so you can think? Or maybe you don't want to think, in which case maybe what you really need is a sensory-deprivation tank, like they used in the movie Altered States to turn William Hurt into a ravenous gorilla. Maybe that's what you want, for everyone to be turned into ravenous gorillas? No thanks!
I guess maybe being turned into a cute chimpanzee or rhesus monkey might be okay, but you'd need a whole new wardrobe. |
Lounge is where off-topic stuff goes. I don't see any threads there about posting videos, and the video I posted is not music, so it doesn't belong on the music boards. I just don't know why I would be told that there are lots of similar threads here when I haven't even seen one and I even asked for them to point them out, if we have so many. They could at least give a more honest and truthful reason for locking the thread.
