What's wrong with youtube?

[Riser]

People,
This morning I opened youtube and was shocked to see what I saw. What happened to it? It is all upside down! Just watch this video to understand me

wow! :lol: that's both strange and funny
This might be a kind of error they missed. Or maybe just another astonishing PR measures.

Hey guys, it was a 1st April joke made by youtube. A good one. I saw it in the morning and immediately googled it, and some guys were saying that you need to remove "&flip=1", and it'll be OK

[M.Helen]

Nice joke, others probably thought this is a virus, a trojan in their computer. I guess it wasn't cheap to realize this but they managed to PR even more youtube. By the way, did you see anything similar on April 1 on other websites? I saw nothing special, every site was boring as if it wasn't April 1.

There are videos which are really funny two watch upside down, for example watch this cat going down... oops... climbing the stairs

indeed, this video on April 1 was chosen among the best and put in the main promoting youtube windows. It's very funny - a monkey-cat - ninja-cat looking for mouses upside on the roof

Nice, but it probably both attracted users and denied them. Some must have reinstalled windows :lol:
So I tried adding that "&flip=1" to any youtube video and I see it works. Great way to trick your friends uper

They proved that Youtube and its mother company Google -- still have that brash mischievous streak more ordinary of a startup than just a multibillion dollar corporation.
