    Youtube under serious hacker attack.

    As most of you have probably noticed, Youtube is being attacked and comments and offensive messages are being displayed on some videos.

    Better stay off until they fix it.

    "...comments and offensive messages are being displayed on some videos."

    In other words now it's just like a MSM news program.

    No problem.

    Some hackers got on Youtube and started posting hate messages on Twilight, Obama and Justin Bieber videos, no virus for viewers I think.

    The Youtube staff quickly solved it, it's nice to see that they are up to those problems.

    They must be just like the usual drivel posted on youtube videos. I don't know why people read the comments as they're a waste of space and time.

    I was hoping we might see Mel Gibson's Polish pornstar ex-girlfriend. Maybe somebody has a link.
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    I would have thought Youtube was broken if there wasn't any hate comments on Twilight, Obama and Justin Bieber videos. :\

    It weren't ordinary comments, they were able to black out the pages and write in red all over the page, quite weird.

    Explanation of what happened:
