July 9th, 2010 - Where was John's video?

[Amanda Jeffreys]

According to the rules established by the John and Hank, as Friday was not a holiday, is John up for punishment? VidCon was this weekend, but I have seen a great deal of youtubers posting videos regardless. Thoughts from the Nerdfighters?

I was wondering about this myself. Personally, I think he should be excused.

[Cavalier]

I believe he should be punished. If Vidcon is an excuse then the nerdfighters should have been warned or something. I was dissapointed, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are my favorite days of the week for a reason.

He expected a punishment.

From his twitter:
"There is absolutely nonway I am going to upload a video tomorrow. First punishment of vlogbrothers 2010?
10:10 PM Jul 8th via Twitter for iPhone "

That being said, I've never liked the punishment system. I just think it's kind of stupid, since I don't enjoy watching people do uncomfortable things. So I would rather not punish him.

I don't think he should be punished. He and Hank did so much work putting all the stuff for Vidcon together and this was probably one of the busiest few days in their lives the past few years. I think we can let it go this one time...

I say leave it be for once - VidCon was really hectic and crazy for most Youtubers, and yes some Youtubers have still posted videos... but we do get an awful lot of videos from the Vlogbrothers anyway! :D Let John have a sole day of rest. :)

I think according to the rules he should be punished but due to have a good excuse for not posting it should be a really easy or funny punishment (nothing uncomfortable or gross.)

On the topic of missing vids and punishments:
It's like 2am on Tuesday and Hank has no Monday vid up. So the question - where the eff is Hank?

[Cierra]

WHAT'S GOING ON? I mean, I know John wasn't able to post on Friday because of VidCon, but now it's 12 AM and Hank hasn't vlogged yet! This is madness.

[Laura]

Dude! This means we will have to punish BOTH John and Hank.

[Amanda Jeffreys]

I agree that VidCon would have been hectic so maybe we should go easy on them with the punishments. But rules are rules so punishments should still happen. Besides John never ate the 317 Peeps that he was supposed to based on all the money that we raised. And though medically he shouldn't have, he also never did anything else to finish off that challenge and wasn't punished for its lack of completion. Its about time!

[Dean Houston]

I think it is time for a punishment.

Maybe a re-punishment from one of the earlier punishments from Brotherhood 2.0

Does anyone want to know about the political situation in Iraq? While John eats toilet paper?

And maybe a another peep challenge for Hank?

Just some ideas xD

Though I do feel bad for them after VidCon :/

[Cierra]

I agree, nothing too harsh. I feel bad.
