EIT Feels YouTube's Wrath, Won't Be Deterred

It's a sad day, indeed. Not only did both Twitter and Facebook crash this morning creating a social media apocalypse, but now Chicago-based Internet video funny folks Everything Is Terrible - you've seen some of their videos pop up in our daily diversion posts - are feeling the Wrath of YouTube. According to a post on their site, it seems YouTube suspended their account and filtering through the comments reveals a link to this story which seems to indicate where the trouble started. Never ones to take things lying down, the EIT folks have already began transitioning clips to Vimeo so you can still enjoy.

And speaking of the Everything is Terrible crew, you'll have a chance to enjoy their greatness in person. They'll be at one of our favorite bars, The Hungry Brain (2319 W. Belmont) this Monday with the show starting at 8:30 p.m., a fantastic way to ease into your post-Lollapalooza week. The crew promises "a night of never-before-seen clips, shorts, and schlock, plus a feature-length showing from the Bin of Oblivion!" And best of all, it's all free, so come on out and support some of the funniest kids on the interwbez.
