You didn’t think Google was too uptight to have a little fun did you? Google went out of its way to create an elaborate April Fool’s Day prank.

Yesterday was proclaimed “Porn Day” on a couple of oh so brilliant sites and an image board; and as a result, YouTube was slammed with tons of explicit clips left and right.

Obviously, these clips violated their terms of use, and they were madly trying to remove them, but the people putting them up were doing so under names that didn’t exactly describe the content. This was infuriating to many, especially parents with kids viewing the site, given that a popular search word for many of the clips was “Jonas Brothers.” Really nice, dumb-wads. I’d like my ten-year old daughter searching out Joe Jonas and seeing that crap.

The way users are uploading the content is clearly a way to initially disguise content. At first glance it seems legit with 20-30 seconds of non-porn content like a newscast or interview, and then boom! Cover your eyes kiddos.
