3. Oh for shame!

They really need to cut back on their censorship on that site in general. Or hire more censors so they can properly vet material for appropriateness.

Likely a bunch of fundies alerted on it and they just automatically pulled it.

Bullshit.

6. there was no depiction of a harmful activity. It was an anti-suicide message

but I suppose just like here sometimes, the moderators at YouTube are forced into taking a dumb actions by the squealing of a few loud barn animals.:shrug:

8. Well, hells bells, I am so glad they pulled it...I thought it was about the economy

and I never bothered to click on a link or look at it..this, on the other hand, gave me some insight, and my eyes are now leaking...

Hope many more people will find out what this is about because of Google's...insensitivity!

stop and prevent them will now be forbidden on youtube? :wtf:

11. I went to YouTube and found it pretty easily.

Please provide more information about how/where it was pulled; I'd like to write a letter of support for the video and those who posted it.

bewilderedly,
