Now then, if the MIT kid had hacked it to look like Ignignokt flipping the bird, that would have been truly epic.

It looks like it's at least showing the first frame now. I am guessing that YouTube's processing power is currently swamped with people watching the Virginia Tech kid strut his munitions. Speaking of which, "Ceci n'est pas une bomb" would only be funny if it actually were a bomb, in which case it would not be funny. Especially considering that MIT really has had some awful cases of violent self-destruction. I was just thinking something along the lines of "Bridge closed for Kaiser Sose".

Apparently. I'm a YouTube Noob. Ya, it takes a minute for YouTube to process it. Apparently.
