Youtube har raderat min video på 29 sek. som heter “Mr. President let me challenge you to face his (2)”. Samma video hade tidigare igår kväll blivit en av dem mest sedda (20:e) i kategorin “arts and animations” och blivit sedd 2666 gånger under en dag.
Det konstiga är att ursprungliga videoinspelningen som blottar Saddam Hussein’s döda kropp liggande i ett bårhus på ett kallblodigt sätt finns fortfarande kvar på Youtube och enkelt att hitta medan min video som är redigering av den ursprungliga är borttagen av Youtube. Min video hette ”ett mardrömsförslag för G.W.Bush”.
Uppenbarligen är min konstvideo som ersätter Saddams huvud med G. W. Bushs inte tillåts enligt Youtubes regler medan den andra videon som visar Saddams sargade huvud är tilllåtet.
Den tidigare videon jag har gjort och baserades på en videoinspelning av Saddams hängning som redigerades med namnet “Mr. President let me challenge you to face his (1)” finns dock fortfarande kvar på Youtube:

Youtube “Mr. President let me challenge you to face his (2)” isimli 29 saniyelik videomu yayından kaldırdı. Aynı video dün gece Youtube’un “arts and animations” kategorisinin en çok izlenen 20. videosu olmuş, bir gün içinde 2666 kere izlenmişti.
İşin tuhaf tarafı, yayından kaldırılan işimi şu anda Youtube’da rahatça bulabileceğiniz, hala yayında olan Saddam Hüseyin’in morgda yatan halini acımasızce teşhir eden videoyu dönüştürerek, yeniden kurgulayarak yaratmıştım. G. W. Bush için bir kabus önerisi olarak yayınlamaya başlamıştım.
Anlaşılan Saddam’ın boğazı yaralı halini belgeleyen video değil de, benim Saddam’ın başı yerine G. W. Bush’un başını koyduğum sanat videosu Youtube’un yayıncılık kurallarına aykırı.
Daha önce yayınladığım ve Saddam Hüseyin’in idamını belgeleyen videoyu dönüştürerek yine G. W. Bush için bir kabus önerisi olarak yaptığım “Mr. President let me challenge you to face his (1)” isimli video henüz yayından kaldırılmadı: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DuDsbKHdDk
Kaldırılan videomu bir başka yere yükleyerek blog sitemde yayınlamaya çalışacağım.

Youtube’s double standart
Youtube rejected my artwork.
On the other hand, this artwork was yesterday nights 20th most viewed video in “art and animation” category at Youtube.
And you can find very easily from Youtube now an original video that is include Saddam’s body in morgue. I transformed it, re-edited it, and changed Saddam’s head to Bush’s only in my artwork. Youtube publishing that original unbelievable video still and rejected mine.
It is very conspicuous double standart.
I’ll try to upload my work to an other upload sides and embed here again.

I could upload my work to the video art portal Perpetual Art Machine.
You can view for now:
Mr. President let me challenge you to face his (2)
(A suggestion of nightmare for G. W. Bush)
