I wasn't going to take up smoking, but now that I have this, can you ask Kramer to get me some Cubans?

You mean the cigars or the people making them?


Anyway, gotta love those yanks! Of course if you're not from here, were all yanks, than.

Yeah, funny how southerns say the people up north are yanks, meanwhile the northerns say the southerns are yanks, but other countries (Canada and the U.K.) say ALL Americans are yanks, lol.

I'm no longer have a channel with their service, so I'm not exactly sure what this is about, but may have a general idea. But thanks for keeping a heads up!

We're protesting YouTube censoring the community's feedback...

YouTube claims they listen to us, but they obviously don't, because they're forcing all users to switch to a new channel (profile) redesign on the 15th; unlike our current channels, which we can easily customize and personalize, the new designs are very cookie-cutter, simplistic, slow (even on high speed connections), unorganized, cluttered, and you can't completely customize them. We've been asking YouTube for weeks now (it was weeks ago when they announced it) to either get rid of the new channel designs altogether, or at least give us an OPTION to switch or keep our old designs on "D-Day", but YouTube is obviously not listening to us; according to them "hundred and thousands" of users love the designs, but if you've read the comments on their update blog, 98% of the community DOES NOT LIKE THEM!

We're sick and tired of YouTube fixing things that aren't broken, and even more sick and tired of them not paying attention to user feedback (which includes blog comments, phone calls, protest videos, protest groups, etc), and as such, from July 10 to 15, those who oppose the new channels, and YouTube's lack of feedback response, will NOT log onto YouTube AT ALL, to show them that if they keep this up, they'll fall victim of countless members leaving them all together for other video sites.

Ok. yeah, I saw the new channel things and thought it was kind of weird.

You learn something old everyday.

And of course since Google now owns YouTube, no wonder it's going downhill; as a friend of mine once said, Google is all things evil on the internet.
