Am I the only person who didn't have his own "YouTube is Back" topic?

I'm having trouble figuring out how people can login and blindly post a major piece of news days after it has happened without looking at least quickly to see if someone (and 20 or so others) hadn't already started a topic on it.

And why this particular topic? A search shows about thirty such topics in the last 90 days, more than half of them in the past few days. Some posted on the same page as other "YouTube is Back" topics. I half expect them to login and break the news about Thaksin's overthrow.

I know its a silly rant but seriously, are people ####### blind? Do they think that the rest of the 2000+ posters browsing are so clued out that two days after the fact they are going to be the first ones to break the news (that was in all the papers two days ago), therefore it would be silly to scan the page for other such topics?

How many more do you think we'll see?

It annoys me as well Vic, not to say I've never been guilty of it but usually I look around before I open the topic.

It probably comes down to what people read on TV.com but there's no excuse for same page, same sub-forum though.

Do NOT get me started on youtube threads!!

what's youtube?

but isnt youtube back though?

joke.

Does my <deleted> head in too. Grrrr.

I didn't know! Thanks for the info Vic, now how do you use YT.

It is though!

I have a great idea for a new web site called; ‘I-tube.com’. It’s for Rastafarians to post their personal videos.

What do you think?

blimey, it is as well!!!

Almost makes me tempted to start one of my own ................

But aren't we all happy.

Thats what it is all about .

blimey, it is as well!!!

Isn't it!

As long as there's one with a rastafarian saying:

"What do i do if i see a spaceman? i park man."

My life would be complete.

Who needs YouTube for the good Thailand film clips any way?

Got the job done didn't he

Just wait, soon Steve Jobs will launch I-tube - a streaming video service that does the exact same thing, but is a bit rounder and has a half-eaten apple on the side of the screen.

Then watch the hype as all the merkans go simiafaecal.

Ask the average rasta type guy what Rastafarianism is all about and I can guarantee you marijuana comes up in the first two or three sentences.

In recent times ive been thinking Rastafarianism is more about dodgy hair extensions from KSR than any belief system. Instant traveller chic gap ganja.

There are many Rastas that have very strict belief systems. I have had many deep and meaningful conversations with a few. The Ganja, is like the memorial cup.

merkans go simiafaecal.

I hope that means something to someone, because I may well have been in a pub at 01.00 hundred hours, for what it meant to me.

What on Earth is a Merkan, similarly, simiafaecal?

Moss

Alough the "youtube is back "ZOMFG!!!111!1!11onehundredandeleven" threads are getting a tad tiresome, i think we in beddies should have a "youtube finds" thread.

i've got a few stocked up.

Close your eyes, say it, and don't think about the spelling!

Do you mean a thread where we posts the little gems we find on YouTube (or googlevdo) ?

i suspect telusys are going to make a packet on the sale of this name.

Merkans = Americans.

Simiafaecal = apeshit (simian + faecal)

Guess I was a bit off on the meaning of 'apeshit' though. Thought it would be ok to use about going crazy in general, but apparently it is more like 'crazy with anger'.

Ahh, now I understand! I have never heard the term Merkan before, is it a generic term for all Septics, you see I do learn something from this site or just a particular demographic of the said Yanks?

As for simiafaecal I feel rather foolish not putting that together

One eye is always closed, for in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king

I have obviously cocked up my multi-quote, so no change there then!

what's youtube?

I dont know but its back!

So it does exist...

...for in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. What a classic line!

NB: Undoubtedly this will be on the public forum somewhere, but for those who just come straight into bedlam;

Following news that google has developed software to allow countries like Thailand to block specific vdos on the website, rather than the website. And the fact that the guy responsable for all this posted a (somewhat lame) apology.

Youtube is back

The Information and Communications Technology Thursday has lifted the ban on the popular video blog site,Youtube.com.

Information and Communications Technology Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said that Thailand decided to lift up the block on Youtube after it agreed to block people in Thailand from accessing its clips of which the contents violate the Thai laws.

He added that Youtube just finished creating such blocking programme.

He said that the ministry has nothing to do with the apology message to the Thai king and Thai people on Youtube but Youtube has taken care the matter by itself.

The site could be now accessed by Thais after the site was banned early May following posting of video clips seen as insulting His Majesty the King.

The site now has a video clip appeared to be an apology from the person who posted the first clips in mocking of His Majesty.

"I never realise how the Thai king is important to Thai people ... I never mean to hurt Thai King" he said in the video entitled "My Apology to the People and King of Thailand" released May 19.
