Apparently the government of Pakistan caused YouTube to go down around the world for several hours Sunday after ordering its domestic ISPs to block the site due to anti-Islamic movies. A routing error caused the block to affect Internet users outside of Pakistan. As a consequence, I had to wait a couple hours to watch these gems:
- Fred Armisen’s slightly disappointing impersonation of Barack Obama on SNL. (Amy Poehler is funnier as Hillary.)
- Reaction to Hillary Clinton’s “Shame on you!” press conference in Cincinnati.
- Last month’s Moldy Peaches performance on The View of “Anyone Else But You” from the Juno soundtrack.
AirAmerica reports that YouTube will be blocked in Pakistan indefinitely. On a related note, I found this list of other states that currently ban the video-sharing site or have done so in the past.

While I am, and will always be, an Armisen fan, that clip makes me long for the days when SNL impersonators really nailed it.
