Additional note:

Someone from www.black20.com saw this and tried to repost once more under a new user name.

The video is here, the poster was banned.

Someone obviously got smart at www.black20.com, before they would post the same videos using www.black20.com username.

Tonight while I was sifting on Google Video, I came across this description for the offending video above:

“From the creators of The Easter Bunny Hates You! Ever wonder what Santa Claus does the other 364 days of the year? Check out Black20.com for more!”

Now flashing back to an article I posted on here from Forbes. It credited NBC with creating “The Easter Bunny Hates You.”

Perhaps I was eager to invoke the ban. I saw a drive-by post: first post by black20, obvious self-post. Didn't figure it was a "teachable moment"-- my bet is black20 is promoting on lots of different sites and won't be back unless he has something else to flog.

You're right though, that zero tolerance for self-linking is not the best way to make friends and influence people
