Three former PayPal employees created YouTube in February 2005.
"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. YouTube, LLC was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google.
The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, the BBC, UMG and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.
Unregistered users can watch the videos, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos that are considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to registered users over the age of 18. The uploading of videos containing defamation, pornography, copyright violations, and material encouraging criminal conduct is prohibited by YouTube's terms of service. Accounts of registered users are called "channels."
YouTube has also faced criticism over the offensive content in some of its videos. Although YouTube's terms of service forbid the uploading of material likely to be considered inappropriate, the inability to check all videos before they go online means that occasional lapses are inevitable. Controversial areas for videos have included Holocaust denial and the Hillsborough Disaster, in which 96 football fans from Liverpool were crushed to death in 1989, conspiracy theories and religion.
This leaves out another point as well: the more that people believe YouTube is unprofitable, the less likely they are to build serious competitors. I have no idea whether or not YouTube is actually profitable directly yet (I'd doubt it), but I think those who are insisting that the acquisition by Google was a bad idea, or that YouTube is somehow on its deathbed, haven't taken much time to understand some basic trendlines or the larger picture of how Google views YouTube, and the opportunities it has to make money via YouTube down the road.

Didn't see this one in the last thread. I find it pretty funny.
Edit: I've never played Persona 3 so that whole damn video confuses me.

But you do have to give them credit for finding a pretty good elemental weakness.
JUST SAY NO!
fuck you pipe. It's incidents like that that make people like me withdraw from society for months at a time.
It's like Pokemon where you kill yourself.
And since some people have probably never seen this:

They always win Brazil, but I don't think they've won a world competition yet.

It's so amazing and even better when you realize the audience is like 80% young children for the Star Wars Weekend thing.
(It's still awesome though)
I'm really starting to hate this country, or better yet, I'm really starting to hate old white people. When the fuck are they going to die off?
Apparently when healthcare reform happens and we just start euthanizing them.
Maybe Barack HUSSEIN Obama could extend his abortion policies to old people
Wait until you get a minute in.

It terrifies me that these people exist, let alone have high profile or influential jobs.
Which I suppose leads to this.
"oh my goodness"
If I hadn't just seen the video Vol posted I wouldn't have thought it was possible to pitch his voice that high.
