i see its confusing that marshall got slapped three times and barney gets this whole elaborate rule BUT its stated that if a problem arises its up to the slap bet commissioner to make the rules. Marshall got slapped prematurely even though robin DIDNT do porn and never got lilys approval so its up to her to decide how things should be handled.

i think its one of those things that one has to accept as "not QUITE right"!?
i think barney saying BUT MARSHALL SLAPPED ME TOO withoot explicit permission would have been "correct" but not very serviceable to the storyline. this way they got in the most slaps possible but didnt water down the effect of "barney gets five slaps for eternity"
maybe there was another scene where this problem was addressed but it was cut oot in final editing!?
sometimes thats why things dont make sense....you lose some of the continuity in editing but 당신 have to get rid of something to meet your time standard.
dont 당신 just hate it when they arent "perfect" :P
