YouTube doesn’t want your business

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I was browsing around for a way of using YouTube without the branded player (you know, the one with Youtube splashed all over the image). Turns out that YouTube has a form for feedback, a.o. for “Business”. So, I quickly whipped up a small email.

Much to my surprise, this is what I got in my mailbox :

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: Business Inquiry
Sent: 16/01/2007 15:06

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

business@youtube.com on 16/01/2007 15:06

The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.

Guess they don’t need our business, now that they’re swimming in Google cash..

Clemens Kogler - Le Grand Content

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Clemens Kogler has created a very funny movie dissecting the meaning and secrets of life. While the overall tone never goes beyond the ironic and even sophomoric, the film also contains some very undeniable truths. Just think : the easter bunny is the first cause of religious doubt, and hamsters are the best way to teach children about death. Watch “Le Grand Content” and ponder it for the rest of the day…
