YouTube Yanks Free Tibet Video After IOC Pressure

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ioc-is-not-very-nice dept.

RevWaldo writes "The International Olympic Committee filed a copyright infringement claim yesterday against YouTube for hosting video of a Free Tibet protest at the Chinese Consulate in Manhattan Thursday night. The video depicts demonstrators conducting a candlelight vigil and projecting a protest video onto the consulate building; the projection features recent footage of Tibetan monks being arrested and riffs on the Olympic logo of the five interlocking rings, turning them into handcuffs. YouTube dutifully yanked the video, but it can still be seen on Vimeo. (Be advised; there is some brief footage of bloody, injured monks.)"

    See? The United States censors just as much information as China. Us working Americans are all slaves, wake up and realize it.

    God is the reason we live in dismay
    It is his will that this world's suffering
    If we do not believe what you foretell
    We can expect afterlife will be Hell

    You are the one who killed his own son
    We are the ones you're blaming it on
    Lust was created beginning with hymn
    When we indulge we are guilty of sin
    Torture our lives with confusion and lies
    Mass contradiction, religious facades

    BLAME IT ON GOD
    BLAME IT ON GOD
    BLAME IT ON GOD!
    LIAR

    Lord of salvation keep looking away
    It is your will that this world goes astray
    Take us each day from this place you unworthed
    Unfulfilled promise of Heaven on Earth

    You are the one who killed your own son
    We are the ones your hatred is on
    Children are dying and this you're content
    Where is your profit in what you have left
    No intervention from angels above
    God is the reason that Satan lives on

    BLAME IT ON GOD
    BLAME IT ON GOD
    BLAME IT ON GOD!
    LIAR

    Wish I hadn't just spent my last mod point, I'd mod your ass straight up with Insightful, you topical sunnuvabeech. Looks like you got popped with good ole American PC BS. Now you know what it's like to have a bunch of hippies monitoring your every word and jumping your ass when they think, because of ignorance or lack of insight, that you say the wrong thing--just like a bunch of friggin' Nazis.

    "More like -1, idiot.

    Or do you not know anything about Tibetan Buddhism and are just making this up out of your own misguided sense of religious hatred?"

    Hey, it's not your fault that you know nothing about the history of Tibet and the actions of the ruling class of Lamas.

    ShieldW0lf's description, though distasteful in its conclusion, is accurate.
