    Sesame Street's YouTube channel was hacked today, leaving its normally family-friendly content replaced with pornographic content, according to a report on the tech blog The Next Web.

    YouTube had the content removed in 22 minutes, according to the report, and as of this writing, the show's channel has been replaced by a message saying it is unavailable.

    YouTube representatives declined to comment on Sesame Street's incident but said the removal of the content was in keeping with user guidelines.
    "YouTube's Community Guidelines prohibit graphic content," a YouTube spokesperson said. "As always, we remove inappropriate material as soon as we are made aware of it."

    Hackers also altered the Sesame Street YouTube channel's profile page to add the name MrEdxwx as the user, according to a screenshot posted by Naked Security. The profile also included the following message:

    WHO DOESN'T LOVE PORN KIDS? RIGHT! EVERYONE LOVES IT! IM MREDXWX AND MY PARTNER MRSUICIDER91 ARE HERE TO BRING YOU MANY NICE CONTENT! PLEASE DON'T LET SESAME STREET TO GET THIS ACCOUNT BACK KIDS PLEASE...LET ME AND MRSUICIDER91 HAVE IT AND WE GONNA MAKE ALL THE AMERICA HAPPY!
    It was suggested that a YouTube user called MrEdxwx perpetrated the hacking for revenge, but that user has since posted a video denying responsibility.
    Google plugged a vulnerability in July 2010 that allowed hackers who had it in for pop star Justin Bieber to attach off-color pop-ups and adult-site redirects to YouTube videos. A cross-site scripting vulnerability was blamed for enabling the hackers to insert code onto the popular video site's viewer-comments pages.

      I would have thought the most pertinent detail was if they got suspended from elementary school for doing this or not .

      Childish and pointless. I hope the one(s) responsible get caught and raped by Snuffleupagus.

      Hey, don't beat him up for not knowing current porn titles. The top movie this week beat out Footloose and The Thing!

      Does that sentence make any sense to anyone and is my brain merely malfunctioning at the moment?

      Perhaps adjust your timeline to not include a title already mentioned. Anyways, as to address your interest in my pornographic viewing habits, I don't watch production porn. I have been familiar and since disappointed with notable titles of years past, but nothing aligns more with my taste than storied amateur porn. At the very least a title forcing perspective, but text narration works magic.

      It included *gibberish that didn't even warrant my interest, let alone a google search

      *booyah is a word in the gibberish dialect

      I've seen enough Marine movies to know what booyah is ,I just don't see how it fits into the rest of the sentence.

      Edit that I just browsed the "urban dictionary" and gained further enlightenment.That and I'm again surprised that we don't forcibly institutionalize some of these people.

      I believe there is considerable overlap between the two.

      I have to admit there is a certain amount of "charm" when someone has obviously called it quits on, or before, 8th grade (in a substantially underfunded inter-city district) who had access to a real* dictionary once, and has gotten the gist of how to write a "totally legitz defn" and "wishez to helpz mankindz to lernz expand its nowledge base". The spirit of Daniel Noah Webster- not to mention the 1980's Webster who was always learning stuff.
