Mr. Basil

We were watching the hell out of this video because it was so well made and outted so many of the cyber bullies on Youtube that we just could not stop playing it. It made for great entertainment at our little gathering. You see we noticed that the cyber bullies had acquired a few harbingers of doom recently; These "Shadow Vigilanties" if you will. Indentifying themselves by such call signs as "SHADoW6F6F6F", "MrShAdoH", and we noticed a third recently, call sign "SHADohE". This latest "Shadow" had uploaded the video below on December 24, 2009 and we noticed it shortly afterward because they seem to alert the masses by leaving cryptic posts on several channels. This one left what looked like a rabbit. That one caught our eye immediately because rabbits are not something people usually leave as a comment and we wondered "Why a bunny?...", bunnies aren't even scary. My friend laughed and said oh look a bunny, skeery!

Needless to say while we were thouroghly enjoying this latest installment from the "shadows", the counter suddenly caught my eye as I went to refresh the page, I was watching to see if anyone else had found the video yet. Oddly enough it looked like the count stopped at 302. So I called my buddy in another state and asked him to go view the video. I kept refreshing the page as he viewed the video and the counter just seemed to stall at 302.

So what the hell, is YouTube rate limiting your hitcounts? This video was only 23 hours old when we noticed the hitcount stopped climbing. We thought for sure this video was going viral, hell we would have had good reason to celebrate that too because of the nature of this one, but it seems to us (now) that the YouTube staff have pulled the plug on this one thereby preventing any chance it had of going viral.

Shame on you YouTube. This video is a very good video to go viral, unlike a lot of other "junk" videos on YouTube, we think this one serves a very noble purpose.

So because of this we are now going to embed the video here and we invite you all to share this video and watch it as much as you can. Lets see if this is just a glitch on YouTube of if in fact YouTube is pulling (in their own words) Shenanigans....

NOTE: after you watch the video here go to the page and see if the hitcount goes up or stays the same. Tell us your results by leaving a comment on this article. Thanks...
