YouTube under porn clips attack

Google-owned YouTube, which is quite well-known as world’s largest video upload website, was bombarded with porn clips by 4Chan. They were 4Chan’s members in actual who set up that prank and dubbed it as porn day because of the huge amounts of porn material uploaded on the site.

This explicit material has been tactfully hidden in the innocuous clips and it was quite kicking for the censors at Youtube. These innocuous clips include like the footages of Hannah Montana and the Jonus Brothers.

In an interview with BBC, a 4Chan member says that this prank is in return of music that YouTube seems to delete quite frequently.

On the other hand, a YouTube spokesperson says that a considerable amount of this X-rated material has been removed, but the site still requires a proper clean up: “We need some time to remove all the thumbnail images and other such stuff from the site.”

It’s not happening for the first time that 4Chan has created some confusion on the WWW, as it has also rigged the Time 100 online poll to pave a way for Christopher Poole success.

These tricks and 4Chan’s anything goes attitude indicates that it’s a right place to develop internet memes.

Stuff like Lol cats, rickrolling and many others have made their debut on the site and that is quite well known for its anonymous posting which makes it one of the most popular websites of today.
