Nice Boat

The wiki entry has a good explanation on the origination of the meme but does little to explain what the tag should actually entail.

I haven't seen School Days, so could someone help in fleshing out this wiki entry to make its use more clear?

Here's what I'm guessing:

This tag should be applied to images that:

• Contain the phrase 'Nice Boat'
• Examples: post #211103 and post #498010
• Contain a parody upon the the phrase 'Nice Boat'
• Examples: post #290323 and post #343782
• Make reference to the original TV Kanagawa airing
• Examples: post #176106 and post #1232856
• Use an image of a boat or other scenic setting as a censorship device
• Examples: post #998408 and post #370563

I bring this up mostly because I'm seeing the tag applied in situations which don't seem at all related to the 'Nice Boat' incident (post #1210894 and similar decapitated hugs) and others which are even further off the mark (post #1238051 and post #419628).

Bump. I would love to see this discussed further.

I'd say post #370563 fits for obvious reasons, but not post #998408, since School Days didn't invent replacing violent imagery with another scene or anything. The other examples look fine.

The three you mention at the end of the post don't seem to fit to me either.

(Spoiler tags actually conceal School Days spoilers, not “fake spoilers”.)

post #1210894: The School Days ending involved death inflicted by a lover, including decapitation (IIRC), in the episode that was replaced with the Nice Boat. I can see why someone might think of using that tag, but I’d call it tag misuse.

post #1238051: Possibly the same reason as above because the killing also involved stabbing.

post #419628: Convenient boat censor.

I wouldn’t tag the latter one nice_boat because it doesn’t look anything like the real thing and basically is just a novelty_censor.

I’m with Tenebrous on the first three uses, but for the censorship one I’d say one of the first three points must apply as well. post #998408 doesn’t really fit, as jxh2154 said.

Ok, thanks for responding all.

I've updated the wiki and will clean up the tag a bit.

EDIT: If possible, I'd like a second opinion on images that feature a reference/parody of School Days' ending and a boat, eg. post #525963, post #147205, post #177268. These images seem to me like they may be a parody of the ending in general rather than a direct implementation of the nice boat meme.

post #525963: The boat on the cake looks similar to the actual “nice boat” from the filler video.

post #147205: Err, memetic mutation or something? Loituma/leekspin + random "nice" boat?

post #177268: The boat looks similar again.

School Days ending spoilers ahead:
The School Days ending did involve knifes, saws and a head in a bag, but actually no boats or cakes, IIRC.

The game endings were post #7162 and post #7245.
