The blocking of YouTube comes a day after a Pakistani court blocked Facebook amid a growing row over a competition on the social networking website to design cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

And nothing of value was lost. For the rest of the world that is because not having to do anything with a bunch of people who take religion dead serious is a good thing.
