The case for censorship on YouTube in one word: Fred
Odd, Tech : Duncan RileyPosted: June 21, 2008
If you haven’t seen Fred yet, Fred is the HOTTEST sensation on YouTube at the moment, with his videos being watched by millions of people. If Fred were a TV show in most countries, he’d be topping the ratings (scary).
So above a dose of Fred, and below some more Fred as well. I’m not sure if watching Fred induces the need for ritual suicide, computer destruction (as I want to pick my computer up and throw it out the window) or just anti-libertarianism (as in I really believe in free speech but I wish someone would censor Fred).
Bonus takeaway: these videos are either professionally produced or sponsored by ZipIt. Here’s my advice: don’t buy anything from ZipIt and tell your friends not to as well. Sponsors of pollution must die ![]()
Fred Stalks Judy (over 3m views). Notice the Zipit product placement
Fred loses his meds (nearly 5m views)
