NSFW means not safe for work. I work at a university and there is no way this is an acceptable video to play on my work computer. So save your judgment for someone else.

Why are you on Twitter during work? That might be the NSFW part.

I am on HN and that's the whole point of my comment.

Why are you clicking outbound links on HN while at work?

Outbound links containing the word "sexy" at that!

What kind of weird university is it?

Does NSFW necessarily mean pornographic though? I can well imagine that there exist employers that would readily discipline or terminate someone if they were caught viewing a scantily clad female on a company owned computer.

I am a tenured professor and I can get fired if I play this video in any of my classes including in the PhD seminar.

You can save the histrionics for playing a video with a woman wearing skimpier than normal clothing, AS LONG AS it coincides with a justifiable reason within your class purview.
And this would be a great video to show ground-floor open sourcing companies. Naomi Wu has done an exceptional job in doing so. (software, licensing, legal, GPL, etc)
Then again, its the white american males that seem not to be able to control their emotions, and gravitate to wardrobe and body image and ignore content.

You can't attack another user on HN the way you've done in this thread. You also can't post slurs like you did here. (Incidentally, I don't believe that the person you're attacking is in any way a "white american male", so your slur actually hit someone other than you thought it did. But it would be just as bad either way.)
I've banned the account. Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.

If you're in NA, I bet there's undergrads running around campus just skimpily dressed. What do you do, walk around with your eyes closed lest you be fired for looking at a woman in public?

They also don't play videos of skimply dressed students walking around campus for their classes.
Perhaps the problem is in your head. You might want to see to that.
