UPDATE: 3-25-2009 -- it has something to do with setting your video to NOT allow embedding or sharing outside youtube or something. It's still not clear exactly which setting effect this or even why. So I still have no real answer except that if you don't want to get this message you have to open your video to be embedded elsewhere and viewed elsewhere. Let me know if you find out anything more.

So I posted this video as my main channel feature video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrEOBLvrbrk

I get the message now on my channel:
We are unable to show you the original featured video for this channel due to age or location restrictions.

So a video on alternative cancer treatments is somehow inappropriate for children or a particular location in the world? Can anyone say censorship?

Can someone tell me what in the hell is going on here?

  • Too many americans have an unnatural mindset, which is very hysterical about sex content, but tolerates any violent content. This is not simply bigotry, but blind zealotry. That religion is from a middle-eastern desert, so it's already against nature. Problem is, they want to extend their views to the entire YT - why not create a mormonic YT and leave us alone?

  • I believe it's been done, called GodTube

  • Wierd why is my football video blocked.

  • If you or the owner has set the video to no embed, then you can't play it on your channel page...it's considered an embedding. Otherwise it may actually be a regional thing. YT is getting weird about selling itself to areas around the world that mandate censorship. Apparently YT is willing to censor anything for a price.

  • If it's your video, you can uncheck the do not embed and allow embedding. If it's someone elses video and they have not allowed embedding nothing you can do.

  • I cant.. I posted that on your channel comment section like a couple of days ago..

  • Oh yeah just checked my "oh it's from airrick, delete it bucket" and found your comment. :) Sorry, missed the comment actually.

see all

    Living in Canada, where - with all due respect - the general mindset on this and many topics is far different than that of our neighbors to the south, I've always found this rather bizzarre. "Sexual content," ranging from discussion to depictions, is major taboo that "WILL warp the viewer's mind," yet insanely rampant violence is ok??

    Family values and morals should be taught and controlled in the home, not by the media neworks or those who control/legislate them.

  • I think youtube or should I sayy google are becomming nazis, I cant watch any music vids DUE TO THESE RESTRICTIONS, this is totall fucking BS. I think we need a new site, Gogle are trashing this one.

  • Well I was able to view it

  • We are unable to show you the original featured video for this channel due to age or location restrictions.

  • "we dont do truth on this site" what a fucking dickwad!!!

  • We are unable to show you the original featured video for this channel due to age or location restrictions.
