Well, I guess as to the way the country is devolving, this was inevitable, but after ten years of producing this brand of satire, Youtube has decided to begin censoring our Mohahappy videos. It started a few weeks ago when they pulled one of our videos and gave us this note, or should I say warning? We sent in an appeal, telling them that our videos are satire, not unlike SNL or Full Frontal. There is no 'hate' in our satire. Bite yes, aggressive and thought-provoking, naturally, but hate?

That’s a strong accusation and couldn’t be further from our intent – which has always been to entertain and possibly enlighten. They ignored the appeal, and just recently they pulled another of our Mohahappy videos and gave us this more severe warning.

And this time, they added a ‘strike’ against our account. Two more strikes and they shut down our video channel. Well, that would be a big inconvenience since we have many videos other than the Mohahappy ones. So, since we have a large number of Mohahappy videos uploaded, and we have no idea what or how their definition of ‘hate speech’ is determined, we’ve taken all our Mohahappy comedy videos off youtube and uploaded them to a more first amendment supporting site called Veoh.

We have always had our battles with censorship, but it seems now that the Youtube Gestapo has put out a broad net to allow them to extinguish any speech that they find offensive. Unfortunately for us and free speech, we are forced to acquiesce. But although we had to buckle to their lockstep with the prophecy to 1984, we are not out of the game. Our videos are still available on the Internet. If you’d like to see ALL of our Mohammad Speaks videos, click here and let freedom of speech prevail.
