bright 1,254 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Just chillin' around tumblr until- This post ruins my entire day Pretty much mind-fucked right now. Do they have shallow brains or just purely cheap trolls? I will never know, but this is just downright ridiculous and dumb. Considering it's fairly hard to get off videos from YT (even though Phil has the Copyright, doesn't mean that he can delete it easily since YT has to check it first and it takes time) plus Dan and Phil are doing Playlist, I hope the video won't stay that long and hopefully ChannelFlip will take care of this matter ASAP.

Seems like this person can't grasp the concept of 'privacy' and 'empathy'. Oh well, these are the kind of people we should ignore and not give attention to.
