YouTube Is Down

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday March 25, 2010 @12:38AM from the what-it's-2012-already dept.

A number of readers have noted that YouTube is currently giving back 400 and 502 http errors, and has apparently been doing so for an hour or more. I suggest you use this window of opportunity to get something done: the dancing kitties will still be there when you're done.

Dancing kitties will still be there? by TSchut · 2010-03-25 00:42 · Score: 5, Funny

How does the submitter know that the dancing kitties will still be there? Maybe there's a big fire and all dancing kitties have been burned! ONOES. Or at least, their digital representation has been burned. Still onoes I suppose.

I'll definitely be getting work done today seeing as Slashdot has run out of actual news.

Quit routing through servers in China. Or move to California, where YouTube and other google things are still running.

Japan is more of a US slave colony. We tried to make them go away, but then they started singing our national anthem at their baseball games and it got weird. It's like that ex girlfriend that keeps coming around and compulsively cleaning your apartment and offering to suck your dick.
