Masholes AHA Big Brew Day video - banned on YouTube

[zee]

i can see a few reasons for this asshattery:

1. as mentioned before, perhaps some other group is not playing fairly. if that is the case, then we lose, and they have the honor of potentially winning by cheating. lame. when they eventually win they'll know in the back of their minds that they really didn't win, and then, what's the point. all they proved is that they are so lame that they have to cheat to win.

2. someone had a problem with the name 'masholes' and complained that profanity was put on youtube. if that is the case, i say to that person: you will never clean up the internet, it hates you. furthermore, you'll probably die young because of all the stress that the internet heathens have caused you. we have a name for this, its called natural selection. we only hope that it happens before you can procreate. on a more personal note, please review the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssC77hapv0g

YouTube can go fuck themselves

The AHA responded:

I think with the information that you provided that we will have no problems viewing your video amongst ourselves over the next ten days or so. And I don’t know if you saw my comment earlier this week that I left on your YouTube video site, but I had searched and watched a few on my own and had left your club a nice compliment – good production, well done. So no worries, we will certainly add yours to those to be reviewed.

I guess we are at the whims of the public internet services, or, to put it another way, we are getting what we pay for. Whether it was a “competitive” viewer trying to increase their chances of winning, a John Q. Public who has a hard-on for anything alcohol related, or a 7 year old that was just fooling around, I guess we will never know.

I will leave it to the AHA staff to determine if they want to try to contact someone at YouTube to see what their policy is, but based on what you spelled out below, the Masholes (hmmm, wait a minute – Houston, I think I might have found the offensive problem video was absolutely in the spirit we are seeking.

Again, we now have a link to make sure to include your club’s effort and will review it with the others that we find on YouTube. Perhaps you should try posting it again with some different information and see if it slips through the peculiar “filter” that it went through again.

Cheers!

Couldn't have asked for a more understanding response. Works for me. Now we can flame youtube!
