A great Netflix offering just released yesterday: "Don't F**k With Cats" (Hunting an Internet Killer) is a three part, mini series, that I thoroughly enjoyed bingewatching yesterday. It's about a POS animal abuser that posted some videos on Facebook, raising first the ire, then well founded concerns of his evolving into a killer of human beings. These selfproclaimed "Internet Geeks" actually did an outstanding job of investigating this idiot and attempting to alert law enforcement about what he'd done to attract attention to himself and what they believed (correctly) he was heading for.
Besides the great story and production values, this documentary provides a lot of introspection on the part of the amateur investigators regarding their potential complicity and how borderline personalities feed on social media. Well worth the time to watch!!!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: parabellum,

Problem is: It's the title of the miniseries about which he's posting. What would he put, instead, that wouldn't run him afoul of the "no clickbait thread titles" prohibition?

Sorry, but the title posted is exactly what the producers used (to include the use of asterisks). Posting profanity in a thread title was the furthest thing from my mind. I'd just like the members to be aware of this particular series.

I think we got into similar trouble a few years back with ABC's 'Don't trust the B**** in Apt 23'.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11
...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

Parabellum, please don't throw me under the bus but I don't understand the reasoning behind banning profanity in subject titles but allowing what ever in the text... but then I don't understand the need to throw the 'F' word out in every other sentence anyway. Don't get me wrong, my first year of college (The Citadel) I learned to cuss better than a sailer but just don't think it is needed on a public forum. But here it seems I'm for sure the minority....

Its more on-topic re: the no profanity issue, common sense shows that leaving the prefix of the title containing the profanity out, (as thread is currently titled) is sufficient.

Watched this 3 episode documentary last week and it had me hooked. We finished it in one sitting. What this person was doing and the planning it took just kept getting more and more bizarre. Worth the 3 hours IMO.

I watched it all and thought it was pretty good. And any bets that the Canucks eventually let this nut out of jail?

Its my understanding that the Canadians don't have an equivalent to LWOP (Life Without Possibility of Parole), although they might try to commit him to some sort of involuntary mental health treatment program that insures he doesn't get out.

We fired up episode #1 with trepidation. And yep, pretty uncomfortable as the story plays out. Well done, hard to put it on hold for the next installment. It is good knowing there will be something I want to watch tomorrow, hoping for some brutal justice.

What about that extra pair of hands and the casino video? No definitive answers, at least this article acknowledges the questions.
