Political Satire
Fox News
Hollywood filmmaker David Zucker has produced a satirical political ad that depicts former Clinton administration Secretary of State Madeline Albright...giving a basketball to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il and cheering for him in a game, mowing the grass outside a North Korean nuclear facility, painting a cave for Usama bin Laden, and changing a tire for a terrorist. Republicans decided not to use it — but someone posted it on the video-sharing site YouTube.
But soon YouTube "flagged" it — meaning that viewers first saw an advisory telling them the video was inappropriate for some users — a warning usually reserved for profane or sexually explicit material. YouTube is catching heat for this — and has since removed the advisory. A spokeswoman couldn't say why the video was "flagged."
