Alert: 4Chan Leads YouTube Porn Assault Today

by Leila Brillson on January 6, 2010 at 12:30 PM

The good news is there is still power in numbers. Rabble-rousing image board 4Chan, which exists as a faceless, all-powerful underground filled with pervs and hackers, are about to show the world that they can stick it to the corporate "man." The bad news is, of course, our daily YouTube may be flooded with nude (or worse) videos disguised as normal, everyday cat tributes, as 4Chan has declared today YouTube Porn Day.

For mysterious, probably awkward reasons, the Anonymous (as they are dubbed) hordes are protesting the YouTube banishment of a young Lukeywes1234. The video site nixed little Lukey when 4Chan found his channel and started subscribing en masse. The surge of popularity raised red flags and got his account suspended, and, amid Lukey Tribute Videos, the board has decided to extract revenge. The above image is the disseminated directive, and with the site's past success enacting denial-of-service attacks, we suggest the YouTube-going public be very cautious.

Though it is somewhat heartening to see that communal action still means something and it's always fun when the mainstream gets something they don't suspect, uploading innumerable gross videos proves nothing, not even 4Chan's point. (Note: Please don't Web attack us, 4Chan. Thank you.) [From: Heavy and WashingtonPost.com]
