Thank you SM for bringing this to my personal attention. So many battles to
fight, and so few spare time :)

Satire and light entertainment are part of the freedom of expression. I
don't believe "POV' should face the court under the charge of political
humour." Also, we might possibly see artists and forum administrators
charged for the funny cartoons on facebook ? So people are going to jail
for telling a good joke ? Isn't that similar North Korea where mentioning
something against a ruling party member causes you to be sent to a gulag ?

Honestly no. I will try to free some of my time to look into this, and do
the proper follow-up. I would prefer HTML5 for the videos :)
