"I don't know what you kids are up to, but I do know one thing: laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic, ethnic group in a given nation. It's just a promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean? You guys want to make some bacon?"

We will build technical safeguards

We all know that 1) they will rush it into use before that and 2) their safeguards don't work

Dropout to Stream U.K. Series ‘Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared’ in First-Ever Licensing Deal (variety.com)

Comedy streaming service Dropout will begin streaming British comedy series “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” on Monday. The show’s launch marks Dropout’s, formerly known as CollegeHumor, first-ever licensing deal, a three-year non-exclusive syndication agreement.

Created by Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling, “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” will launch with its web series version streaming on Dropout today, followed by a biweekly releases of the longer TV series version beginning March 20.

Per the official Channel 4 synopsis for “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared,” “What is a Job? Who are a family? And what is that horrible noise? Join three friends Red Guy, Yellow Guy and Duck as they learn about everything there is to know with the help of some friendly talking objects! But wait, maybe something’s not quite right here. Every teacher they meet on their journey seems a bit out of their depth. What lessons are they actually learning? ‘Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared’ is a deeply unsettling comedy puppet show, think the ‘Muppet Show’ relocated to ‘Twin Peaks.’ It started life as a YouTube phenomenon. Eleven years and a quarter of a billion views later, main characters Red Guy, Yellow Guy and Duck are now inside your television trying to get out.”

Produced by Blink Industries, an Emmy, BAFTA and Annie-award winning production company and animation studio based in London, “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” is currently only available on Channel 4 in the UK. The streaming deal for the series comes amid rising subscriber numbers and increased development at Dropout.

“‘Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared’ is one of my absolute favorite weird and wonderful internet things, and it gives me no small amount of pride that Dropout should be a home for it,” Dropout CEO Sam Reich said. “This marks a careful, experimental step into selective licensing for us, driven by our admiration for the show and our strong relationship with its creators.”

Sloan and Pelling added: “We are both thrilled to hear that Dropout is going to put our puppet show on their website. They have assured us the episodes will be in full HD and have both sound and visuals in sync most of the time!”

Where did conversion therapy come from, why is it so difficult to ban, and SURPRISE - why the hell is it so accepted in British politics and media??? Strap in.

It's a portmanteau of shit-fart but now that it's lost its "it", is it no longer on the naughty words list? Would the FAA of Ofcom require it to be censored?

Beginning tomorrow, you can join the Dropout 24/7 stream for a Dimension 20 marathon — starting from the first season of Dimension 20, along with each season's accompanying Adventuring Party — all the way to the latest season, Dimension 20: Gladlands!

After the Dimension 20 marathon, we will broadcast other Dropout shows on the stream, like Game Changer or Very Important People, and throwbacks like Kingpin Katie or Ultramechatron Team Go.

Drop in, anytime :D
