On April 27th, 2009, one of baseballs most exciting plays was pulled off by Jacoby Ellsbury of the Red Sox. A straight (no bunt) steal of homeplate. The fact that it occurred against the NYYankees makes it all the more a big deal, in the eyes of Bosox Nation, but no matter which team was which. is really besides the point.
Reason I bring it up is because if you follow YouTube at all - if you keep an eye out on "stuff" on YouTube, you simply must also keep an eye out (IMHO) on how much censureship goes on there, by extreme US corporate media controlled interests.
In no less than 20 hours time, YouTube was ordered, by Major League Baseball, to shut down all uploads of Jacoby Ellsbury's very rare steal of homeplate.
In my opinion this MLB/YouTube decision to deny the public, may represent an advanced or elevated programming designed to deny the game of baseball itself, one of the rarer thrills normally meant to enhance any sport.
It otherwise makes no sense to supress video which a corporation can always sell in higher HQ later. The censureship on YouTube is mostly about squelching joy is my estimation.
Not about dumbing us down so much as is about controlling what we get to go wow about.
No wow's in life = No Will to push forward. This also equals a "what's the point of plugging onward" attitude, evert day we allow it to gain ownership.
Not a good thing.
