ReTubed

Let me see if I got this straight. The American Society of Civil Engineers got pissed off about the video PSA produced by high school students and posted by Levees.org to YouTube. ASCE demanded the video be removed. So Levees.org removed it. Then, the Times-Picayune wrote a story about it. As part of their online coverage of this story, the Times-Picayune posted the video… on YouTube. So you can still watch it. And now it has the luster of all censored media, like forbidden fruit. So if you didn’t watch it before, I’m sure you want to watch it now.

Update: The video clip was featured on the evening news and it’s getting tons of links throughout the blogosphere. So I guess the ASCE censorship is no more effective than the Army Corps’ flood protection.
