A Sad Tale from a Sad Salamander: What is the Deal YouTube?
I got an e-mail from the fearless leader of the Sad Salamanders the other day. It appears that the video, which you have seen oosted here and linked to here and talked about here, has been removed from YouTube. I hope Scooter doesn’t mind me cutting and pasting his e-mail, but he writes:
“As if there aren’t enough problems in the world, we must contend with this!
For some unexplained reason, the video to the Sad Salamanders song ‘My Parents Are Swingers’ has been taken down from YouTube. I’m trying to figure out why, but as with any typical corporate internet presence, it is almost impossible to find a way to contact YouTube about this. All it says on the site is ‘This video has been removed due to terms of use violation’ with out an email notification or explanation. In the mean time, we will find a new place to host the video and send you the link as soon as we do.
Scooter”
As such, it seems that you will not be able to find the video for “My Parents Are Swingers” on YouTube at the moment. It seems like you gain a little and you lose a little. They got onto the playlist of WDCB, but they lose their video on YouTube.
I am not sure why YouTube decided to remove the video. It was a tad risque, but there was no nudity and nothing worse than you’d see on your average network TV show these days. Heck, I recently saw a “Law & Order: SVU” that had a rape scene almost as violent as those I had seen on cable and in the movies. So, I am stumped as to what YouTube was thinking.
I would love to champion a campaign to get the Salamanders back on YouTube. At the same time, I can’t help but hope the find a better, more accepting place to post their video. Wherever it ends up, I will be sure to post a link or find a way to direct you to it right here.
