Wikijunior : No tigers were during the making of this book.

(I know it's slightly obtuse, but it's a reference to this post. I guess if you have to explain it, it ain't funny...

Is there a word missing there? No tigers were harmed during the making of this book? I see that there are two spaces in "were during".

"were" is a verb. You could construe the sentence as "There were no tigers during the making of this book", though it's a bit contrived.

Yes, there is. On purpose.

No Hofstadters were parodied during the copyvio of his line.

Do we really need to have pics of genitals randomly scattered through the forum?

I was explaining to a Wikipedia editor what cogent criticism she could find here, and she fired back an email that she saw a 'cartoon photo of an old man with a leather band around his balls' and that she was not going to register because of that.

She has about 2,000 edits to Wikipedia and I'm trying to get her to realize she's wasting her time, but now I have egg on my face.
...
At least I hope it's egg...

OK ... I have thought of a work around and will tone it down or censor elements of it ... as I tend to be preaching to the choir here anyway.

I'll try posting clips and hosting full images elsewhere for anyone that is interested. If the moderators can oblige (I cannot re-edit the older post), you can tell your friend it is safe-ish to come back.
