Where's the gang from South Park when you need them

Oh, no! They've killed You Tube....

Pakistan wreaked havoc on the world's ability to be voyeurs over the weekend, as they not only shut down You Tube within the Asian country's borders, but managed to wipe out You Tube service to most of the world.

It was on Friday that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ordered 70 Internet service providers to block access to YouTube.com, because of anti-Islamic movies on the video-sharing site.

Over zealous officials posted a link that redirected traffic into the dark holes of the world wide web, but instead of just Pakistani's being denied the wonders of skateboarding and small town musical stars, close to two thirds of the world's Internet viewers found themselves without their fix of You Tube for over two hours.

If we're looking for a theme for the blame game, with a few small changes perhaps this South Park classic could be reworked.
