What kind of a comment is this?

It appears to be an insult, I guess bad stars ( or threat of ) does not stop bad behavior.

That's a bit of a leap.  My guess would be he's quoting a line from one of the episodes. 
"Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams

Hi Vega,

Perhaps? But the comment is directed at me & on the surface seems derogatory.

Hey Rico, I consider you a friend so I am not trying to insult you.  When you say someone's butter has slipped of their noodles you are saying they are not quite right.  After watching the video and you saying you are hooked, I was saying you are not quite right.  I was not offering up a red arrow.  I found the show really BAD as in terrible.  I know we have different tastes but you being hooked to something that bad really amazes me.  Sorry to start a controversy that wasn't my intension at all.

Hi Guys,

Lord - I'm glad to hear that you consider me a friend, thanks. I've not heard that expression before, & incorrectly thought it was an insult. As I've said before I do not believe in 'red arrows' so you will notice you did not get one from me. In fact I've never given anyone a red arrow. Really bad as in terrible? Could you expand on that?

I can tell you I liked it because:

It was offbeat something not expected, outrageous.

It had a soap opera feel to it, with each episode lasting 5 minutes. <Note I loved Melrose Place, Prison Break, very soapy>

It's well done for what it is, having a script, actors, direction, villain's & hero's

Take Care

It seems that Americans are very quick to take offense. And I don't see that reaction from Europeans or people from any other countries.

It is actually unlikely that someone would decide to insult you purely for posting a link to a soap on the Internet. Just try and relax and go with the flow..

Rico as you know in America we speak American, I will not call it English because that isn't really what we speak in United States, bad has at least two meanings.  Bad is in cool, hip, excellent, tight.  It also has the meaning of bad, terrible, not good, nasty.  In my comment I wanted to let you know I found the show bad as in not good.  I watched the chocolate episode and well I'd like that 5 minutes of my life back.  The comment pertaining to you and your butter slipping off your noodles came out of the fact you post so much cool and fun stuff I found this out of character for you.  I hope this explains all.

Hi Guys,

Lord I understood, got your drift several posts back.
Quote:

With that statement I was hoping, you would explain what/why you did not like the show. I wanted to engage in a dialog about the show.

I thought the above remark would be sufficient to demonstrate understanding.

All is cool

your comment does not offer any value or help here. Could you please elaborate on how  your remark is relevant?

Paul two thoughts are contained in the above quote:

1. Is fact 'directed at me'
2. On the surface implies with a little digging a new meaning/insight could be found.

I agree! And is why I asked the Lord to explain. You seem to want to but-in, with comments that don't contribute.

Hey, no problem.  I guess for starters I just am not a soap opera fan.  Second the acting was horrible, even worse than the normal daytime soaps.  Where's the chocolate, I told you, you'll be taken care of.  Somebody took a decent premise and went way overboard, with lousy dialogue and way over/campy acting.

That's actually the point of it.  It's mocking American daytime soaps and making fun of their terrible writing, bad and overly dramatic acting, and complete non-sensical reactions to the events happening around them.
