Big Brother is a schizoid

One guy's submission of Part 7 of the movie version of Orwell's classic 1984 on YouTube has this little gem appended:

HI
PARTS 6 AND 8 FROM GEORGE ORWELLS
1984,HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY YOUTUBE.

After being flagged by members of the YouTube community and reviewed by YouTube staff,
the videos have been removed due to its inappropriate nature.

From what I can gather, YouTube is upset by very brief images of boobies . The rich, tasty irony is bad enough, but YouTube is of course owned by Google, who is very big into censorship. Well, except for jihad p0rn. Like our good friend SwordofBaghdad.

So remember the rules, Brothers: Boobies-Doubleplusungood. Seventh century barbarians-Doubleplusgood. All expression is equal, but some is more equal than others.
