Subject: YOUTUBE IS DOWN!

I don't think it's a coincidence why youtube is down. Just last night that video of Larry Sinclair, and Barack Obama got REAL POPULAR! Basically overnight it had 1/2 million hits!

Since youtube is obviously Pro-Obama I don't think they want it to get out before tonight's debate. If you guys think i'm kidding go to WhiteHouse.com Larry Sinclair has already passed a polygraph, and drug test!

3:30pm in ontario, canada and its still down. I checked with some friends too.

Subject: ??????????????????

I already gave an answer. YouTube is not down for technical reasons. It's most likely down to keep certain videos out of the news.

One of those videos is the Larry Sinclair video that recently got huge! Obama has a debate tonight with Hillary Clinton. C'mon man 1+1=2

Subject: no tunes in Phoenix AZ

No YouTube all day in Phoenix. Suggested alternative address of http://208.65.153.251/ does not help, it just gets me to the "IE Cannot Display the Web Page" a little bit faster. Nothing all day. I don't know who Larry Sinclair is, nor do I care. Drop a brick on him if he's in the way. I just want my Ramones videos. Gabba gabba hey.

"Pakistan's government attempted to block local YouTube access domestically, which affected other countries. Google owns YouTube."

I can't access any of YouTube's videos. I can get on the site, but no videos come up at all. What's going on??

Subject: Youtube Down Again

Youtube is down again
The server is fine
but the dns entries to the site are not.
If you can connect to youtube it will only be for a while until your local dns servers update. Youtube does not have any entries in any of the root nameservers.

As of 7:20AM Pacific Daylight Time (I live in the US West), YouTube is back. DNS resolves properly.
