BANNED! You wanna know what shocked me more than anything about this whole Jamaican adventure? This has Tuff Gong International scratching their head, and let this be a dire warning to us all:
Artificial “Intelligence” has determined this FREE YOUR MIND video is explicit sexual content and CANNOT be boosted to a wide audience. A video directed by Garrett Gibbons, a Mormon father of four!
I waited for ten years to work on a family friendly project with Garrett, that would incorporate his love of Dance, World music, and Seattle art.
This is what happens when you let computers police us, and herd us, and decide what is moral and immmoral. Because as Tuff Gong tried to express to the robots in charge of us, this is just Jamaicans and Seattle folks dancing to a song with a positive universal message.
This is HOPE.
Tuff Gong is going to reload the video and we’ll try to get it past the robot thought police. But we think the censors were triggered by a screen shot that sounded the alarms as being too damn sexy.
For the 156 friends that shared this and helped me NEARLY go VIRAL, if you see this video hit 50,000 on a fresh upload, please share it again.
…and heed this warning. Because I want to make more videos like this that are rated G, but unfortunately compared to scandalous videos by The Staxx Brothers, THIS is the video that we are being told is NC 17.
No. Just no. I am not going to give up, but this is why the video stopped at 11,000.
This is a hit, and I am just going to take a deep breath and try twice as hard. Jamaica is by my side. And so are my friends. But the alg☆rithm is against us.

Rumors of my comeback have been greatly unexaggerated.
More concerts to be announced.

Life Hack: If you order a Vegetarian meal and add pork, especially pork, any Vegetarian dish goes from really good, to really great.
It takes a lot of work, love and care to craft food that delicious without a crutch like tasty body parts. But if you toss mass murder on an industrial scale back into the equation, waaaah laaaa.
This also works with any Vegan dish. And also any non vegetarian meal. Just add more meat.
Fact: I lost all this weight eating meat…pretty much errry day.
Also Fact: Eating meat is not sustainable nor responsible. Yada yada, they’re right. But it’s delicious and humans are not really going to fix this. C’moooon. You know we’re f☆cked. Eat that pork belly. Mmmmm.
Or just eat some Oreos. Those are Vegan AF.
Facts. Vegans can be right. But BBQ ain’t going nowhere.
I’ll tell you what, if one of these beauty contestants gets World Peace, I’ll stop eating meat. Yes sure…I’m sure Wars can be traced back to consumption. But you and what Vegatarian army is going to defeat Taco Bell at 1 am?
Now I am literally going to eat a spinach salad with balsonic vinegar and count calories like a beauty contestant…then swim an hour on a Friday night.

Well I just met The Thought Police: Want to know the latest reason my rated G, relentlessly positive and uplifting video got flagged?
“Your ads text (or text in image) was flagged because it could be a negative experience. Fewer people…” (end signal from Hal).
This was on an upload BJ DjSticky allowed me to do on his Conscious Culture Festival page to reach the community he built with that wonderful festival that is on hiatus. I even made the screen shot the cover art to help avoid the sexual content flags that went off when Master Computer perceived dancing and joy itself as orgiastic and innapropriate.
What kind of Dystopian Novel have we stepped into because we refused to pay cover?
Garrett Gibbons I am ready for a better Dystopian business model.
