    As far as I know, the more a video is flagged the quicker it's moderated. Flag it. Get others to flag it too.

    Is it too nosy to ask what it is? :p

    I think this is just for warning other users that the video they have requested to see may contain unsuitable material for young eyes.

    You have to at least put up a link so that I know what I might be helping to get removed.

    Sorry, this should probably have been in the advice forum, in hindsight. :o

    Thanks for the help. I've flagged it. Appreciate it.

    It's an offensive (to me, anyway) Hillsborough video. If you want to view it, and then perhaps flag it, it's here:

    Yep. Was asked to confirm date of birth before viewing just now.

    Wel, what's offensive to some , isn't to others, so how do you know it's offensive to you, if you dont see it.

    Better than people who complain without actually seeing it!!!

    And , imo, it IS grossly offensive to me.

    Dunno about the version on that Vid - but the original was by Jennifer Paige - and is a pretty good song when not attached to such a sickening Video

    Hi,

    Thanks, I already found that version by Jennifer, I can't seem to find who sang the version in the vid.

    I'll message the uploader but thank you anyway.

    A little offensive, but I don't see why they would remove it.

    Look at some of the comments:

    Thank **** these dirty bastards died. 96 scouse **** less.

    This is heart touching. I remember the day as it was yesterday. Scouse bastards rushing through the turnstiles like there was money on the other side.
    People climbing to save their lives.
    Aaah, the good ol' days.

    Don't watch the video again - that should stop it appearing on your screen. Hope this helps.

    That's disgusting. It should be 'fewer' not 'less'.:rolleyes:


    But in all seriousness, why would someone make that video?

    I hate youtube and imdb comments and never read them they are nasty. I am unsure of the video, the pictures are respectful did the uploader edit it or just put the song over it.

    Bear in mind that thanks to sites likes this, a video can never truly be erased from the net. Someone could put it up again and again on alt accounts until the cows go home.

    ... Which is actually a good thing with some vids, which don't deserve to be taken down! But obviously not with something as tasteless as this.

    I agree ianlawn, you could put a picture of a toddler stroking a kitten on Youtube and people will be lining up to tear you to shreds. I can't understand why the comments on Youtube are so venomous when you compare it to communities like Wikipedia and Flickr.

    the video does pay tribute to the 96 who died at the end of it.

    Song choice is not the best.

    But remember the disaster was caused by liverpool fans and it was liverpool fans who paid the price.

    Thats is not true at all. Please go and do some research on the subject as you clearly have not got a clue what happened.

    The video is entitled 'Hey Scousers' its obviousely been put there to cause offence and upset people.
