White House Ditches YouTube

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the but-i-thought-google-bought-and-paid-for-the-US-already dept.

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that in an apparent response to privacy complaints, the White House has quietly moved off of YouTube as a method for serving the President's weekly video address. Choosing instead to use a Flash-based solution and Akamai's content delivery network, this comes just days after YouTube began to roll out their own new policies regarding privacy of visitors.

    Why the fuck does the fucking businesses need to use fucking flash video. If someone can't use a fucking text browser to download a fucking video to watch then they are obviously too fucking stupid to even exist let alone use a fucking computer. These people should committ suicide immedieately.

    GO AHEAD FUCKING FLAME AWAY!

    Three reasons.

    1. The media downright worshiped him during the campaign. Read this book and watch this documentary.
    2. He's excellent at reading from a teleprompter.
    3. The majority of Americans have been dumbed down and poisoned with sodium fluoride to the point that plants are smarter than them.

    Also, watch this to see the complete ignorance of Obama voters.

    when we realized that his opponent was a no-brain come-stain like you, the choice was obvious.
