Not satisfied with making their founder into the world’s most influential person, 4chan has flooded cat video sharing site YouTube with pornographic videos, declaring it “International Porn Day.”
The raid was orchestrated by the usual /b/ groupthink, with users infiltrating normal videos interspersed with pornographic content into YouTube, keeping them private and camouflaging them with normal sounding titles and tags, until the allotted day came and the videos were made public.
Google quickly set about deleting the offending videos, but with the process being manual it is thought many will linger for some time to come.
The mass media have quickly seized upon the story, giving 4chan the notoriety it craves. The BBC salivates over such gems as: “A user posted a comment saying: ‘I’m 12 years old and what is this?’”
Mass media sources have foolishly tried to tie the raid to some specific cause or grievance, but as usual with the site even its denizens have no idea why they are mindlessly following the latest meme.
In the spirit of mindless repetition which so animates 4chan, users appear already to be planning an inferior copy of their minor media sensation. Some of their deranged rambling does may make entertaining reading:
“It’s not worth it for the videos getting deleted after about 5 minutes. But we can post comments saying ebaumsftw etc. And remember, if anybody gets approached by the media say that you are from ebaum’s not 4chan, faggots!”
“The plan is to do it on the 13th dumb faggots, so it will be on a Saturday and more kids will see the porn. Stick with the plan faggots”
“lulz will be had”
“lol im uploading any porn on my computer pretty much”
“we doesn’t afraid of anything”
“i do so believe that youtube are making these threads because they want everyone to upload pr0ns so they will have better excuses for more draconian censorship and increasing policing of the internet. this is because google owns youtube and google wishes to tender for the role as internet police so as to gain unlimited access to every internet user’s personal information to better target advertising at them and thus make massive profits and effectively take over the entire internet.”
It seems unlikely their second effort will enjoy more success than the first…
It is not clear why they are so keen ontheir half-baked attempt to shift the blame onto another site…

You know what would be awesome? If Youtube decides to do a maintenance day and sets it to the 12th of June, now that would be funny.
The "flaggging" and "report" systems on youtube are ridiculous, the chain letters and inane comments by people that are truthfully stupid are ridiculous.
Much of youtube is a joke.
Not as bad as gaia/livejournal/deviantart etc..., but still a joke.
It deserves to be trolled.
Maybe they'll implement some anti-retard system, if people "attack" it enough.
As has probably been mentioned, 4chan doesn't want random underage teenagers to watch something about a prank on the news and go visit 4chan. They'd rather they mention eBaums world so news sites/fundamentalist organisations go try to have them taked down.
june 12... marked ^^
i'll definitely be there as a watcher
I'll be waiting anxiously.
If you are considered about the kids seeing it... thats bullshit, it up to YOU what your kid can browse and what they can't. I never let my nephew browse internet or watch youtube on his on without me monitoring what he is going to watch next.
Go to the extreme and create filter to your modem or browser to prevent your kids seeing this stuff...
When they grow old enough they can browse all they want for what I care, but 5-year old kid surfing on his own? what the hell? :D
Eh, not a creative prank at all. Too typical. Plus this'll only make Youtube more strict. They'll probably implement a system where you gotta have stuff approved first before making it public from private. Then everyone gets nutty about it calling it tyranny when they just brought it upon themselves. O'course, they don't care cause they hate Youtube anyway but just wants to screw everyone everyone else who does care.
I wonder if ever the different Chan boards would go to war against each other. That would be at the least minutely interesting.
2% people own more than 50% world's wealth. In the end of the day, 4chan still pwned by bankers, elites and government.
/b/, i forget how you amuse me <3
I shall participate!
going to upload all the delicious efuckt stuff =D
Shit will happend ;)
LoL. 12th June right!? Soooo gonna watch this
Well... Can't stop the douchebags. Just act like a dick and you'll fit in perfectly.
june 12th is it.
heh heh.
make us proud this time you sometimes-weird-and-sometimes-good-for-nothing-but-live-for-the-lulz 4channers
nekomimi day...
Ichiroko in nekomimi.
not again...
Youtube seems to be down... hm.
lol why do people get so angry with these pranks
it's just a prank. calm down~!
damn youtube is down~! THOSE MORONS! jk^^
Makes me proud.
Let the
killingflooding begin.This will be so funny if it works. So do they already have a program to automate the attacks or should I consider writing one?
I personally find this highly amusing. I love /b/'s actions some times, and this one's actually pretty funny, especially in comparison to a lot of their other ones.
I do thing the repeat of this is a little silly. Doing the same prank twice isn't as amusing the second time around.
As for why try to frame Ebaums... The only thing I can think of is they want as few 'new fags' showing up on 4chan, that or Ebaums blaming is a meme. I wouldn't know for sure since I just stalk /c/.
harassing comment
I thought it was pretty funny, good things do come out of 4chan once in a while. I'm guessing it's an "infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters" kind of thing.
On an unrelated note, it's unfortunate how these types of articles attract so many 4chan users..
They aren't really that strict on youtube...

This was removed due to Terms of Use violation.
for teh lulz eh? i wonder how will 4ch shape up after another 2 yrs..
fucking /b/.
well, no matter how much everybody hates them, they get shit done almost all the time.
What? No links to examples?
should be interesting.
Where is the picture from with the girl watching the laptop?
taalk about wasting time they could be using to get laid. they really need it.
What is sad is this is the kind of behavior that will get restrictions put on the net. Enjoy open bandwidth and products like youtube while you can. Some dirty channers are going to F it up for us all one day.
>Enjoy open bandwidth and products like youtube while you can
Troll. They get money. Huge. Off the users' back. Known fact. GTFO.
Hm, I sort of came up with a plan like that too.
IT'S A TRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you'll fall for it every time. ~_~
HEEEEEY. There are still a few boards on 4chan I hit up. Don't lump in all the rest of them with that shit-for-brains /b/ lot.
I may have standards, but this is FUKKEN AWESUM!!
LULZ will be made, bricks will be shat Tis' a win, gentlemen.
so what about it...
i set it in my reminder ant it just went beep ^^
we dosen't afraid of anything
i can see there point about youtube and google trying too take the internet.
funny really.............creepy also.
FOR THE LULZ!!!!
man... I missed that day
when i was 12 i already fantasized about raping my female classmates and jacked off to it. seriously, what a fag that kid was.
Let's quickly review most of these comments.
Let's see..... troll,troll,troll,troll,troll,troll,troll,troll, someone trolling a troll, someone trolling the person trolling who was trolling the troll.......
Okay everybody.... SHUT THE FUCK UP!
I got an idea. Fire kills trolls pretty well, let's nuke the net and start over san's trolls. Though I have also heard tales that goats kill trolls as well so maybe we should have a bomb that explodes into goats made of pure fire.
I'm honestly getting tired of all of this shit people pull because they have anonymity, and don't feel they need to act like a human instead of a rabid dog cause they can hide behind an "anonymous" tag because they are chickenshit.
How about set the new net up with legal names and addresses and MAYBE you will consider you might piss off the wrong mother fucker and not be such a worthless disagreeable asshole.
Seriously grow up and act like a dick to EVERYONE like you secretly want to or stop being such a pussy and suck it up and keep it to yourself like people who aren't assholes.
u ASS u r acting through that same anonymity that u preach against so SUCK IT and the new date for the Porn rush is going to be Saturday night may 7th 1201:am (MIDNIGHT) Let give youtube a good mothers day gift
actually dumbass ebaumsworld actually did it and they did it because jewgle/jewtube keep censoring music so write a decent story with this you faggot
Hey, why don't you tell those douchebags to upload the Hayden Kho sex scandal on June 12 for extra revolutionary lulz!
Why they do it?
Perhaps, for the reaction I see here.
FOR THE LULZ
srsly the most stupid & pathetic plan ever by 4chan people.
Wrharharhar
I've found ye booty!
-shoots lasers- *peeuu peuuu*
....wait where am i
Sir, you're on the internet, dont worry folks im taking him back to his 'home'.
now be a good 'pirate' and dont say anything... again.. ever
Unbelievable.
I wonder if the lifeless clowns who did this would "understand" all the liberating fun a robber's having ripping off their homes and cars.
funny thing is... jun 12 is my bday xD
They should have chosen something more funny and unusual than porn. porn spamming is just too predictable these days, and a little too wrong. Maybe they should have gone with one of the many absurd memes out there instead, like ytmnd kind of shit.
and if I ever have kids, I'm seriously not even letting them use a browser until they're 12 or something, let alone use google.
> and if I ever have kids, I’m seriously not even letting them use a browser until they’re 12 or something, let alone use google.
Excellent. The Internet is not a babysitter, it's just a series of tubes.
nothing or no one is a babysitter, not even the babysitter. :P
Go 4chan. Keep doing it for the Lolz.
you will be banned!
comment from /b/
UPLOAD YOUR PORN IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF INTERNET HISTORIES!!!
I thought there already was one?
It's called youporn.com >_>
And redtube, and XXXtube, and a hundred other porn-centric sites. Not sure why the hell it's so important that YouTube get porn posting capabilities when there are so many sites that ONLY host porn videos.
Seconded. Youporn, Redtube, etc. There's a plethora of youtube clones that are dedicated to porn.
We all know of these, but they have crabby bandwidth and loading times compared to YouTube. Also it's not lulzy to post stuff where it's expected.
I can see the comments flowin already:
You just got PORN ROLL'D.
It will be interesting to see if they will go out of their way to prevent any of this. Surely this story will have a second part...
Oh 4chan, you miserable little pile of secrets.
And by "secrets" I mean wastes of oxygen.
i lol'd
Great just great, this will give Youtube a new reason to censor us even more, way to fucking go /b/.
I knew it was only a matter of time before they tried to do something as bat shit crazy as this.....
If your freedom gets taken away after using said freedom, you never had that freedom in the first place.
Idiotic. Logical fallacy.
It was never allowed posting porn on youtube.
You are free to post them anyway. To enforce something against that would probably cut one's freedom quite a lot. A freedom you actually don't have.
You're free to speed, doesn't mean it's "legal".
You're free to murder, doesn't mean it's "legal".
You're free to snort coke, shoot heroin, smoke crack, doesn't mean it's "legal".
You're perception of "you never had that freedom if it can be taken away" is pure ignorance at its finest. Another shining example of the plague of ignorance oozing out of 4chan.
"im 12 years old and what is this?"
lies!!!. it should be
" im 12 years old and i hav found gold!!"
“A user posted a comment saying: ‘I’m 12 years old and what is this?’”
I lol'd so hard. Man the internet is a wonderful place.
ebaumsworld must be stopped fore the children
Like Youtube admins can't just mass-ban every account created since this retarded idea started, and then un-ban the few legit ones afterwards.
SRSLY troll harder, morans.
also in b4 underage b&.
That's what making new accounts is for.
more like /b/ floods youtube faggot.
fucking idiots wow
Ah the power of "anonymous"... Guess I shouldn't even ask if these people have anything better to do than to randomly vandalize a website just because they can.
For the lulz?
Awwww... one day before my birthday.
I'll think of it as a indirect birthday present from the 4channers.
"..because youtube can ban accounts directly, meaning 1 account w/ 9000 porn videos can be banned all at once by banning the user."
Sounds like a public speech by Captain Obvious to me..
Hooray for giving the weaboo trash of 4chan more attention, thanks SankakuComplex.
weeaboos? good thing that they are on 4chan and not here on sankaku...
Wow look who's talking. Isn't sankaku a weaboo site?
thank you captain obvious
"weaboo trash"
Hardly, most people on 4chan probably don't even know what anime is.
do you realize that "weeaboo" as a synonym for "wapanese" is a word that 4chan kind of created?
Actually I thought that was SomethingAwful.
Easy mistake, there's not a lot of great content there either.
I thought "weeaboo" was what the wordfilter changed "wapanese" to on 4chan, could be wrong.
Hahahaha. I'm gonna search some right away.
you are too soon
Douchebags don't realize is their pushing internet freedom back. What they should be doing is attacking UNICEF and Equality Now.
ddos on unicef , by the way what is it?
unicef is pure faggotry and anti-lulz,
in other words a bunch of old, white, post menopausal, old housewives who feels its their job to "fix the non-christians and mud-people" of the world by writing letters threatening foreign governments with the mobility of their army of dried up cunts to parade around in streets like its actually going to fix something. meanwhile actually degrading crimes and atrocities towards real women go unanswered around the world. but hey its cheaper to have the people donating to your cause write letters, than to actually provide aid to those in need.
well said =|
Marblecake.
