adult swim used to work for me. But this is the 2nd clip that has skipped right to the end. are they joining the region blocking bandwagon or does it work for the rest of the civilized world (e.g. the non US
j/k)

what do i think of western civilisation?? I think it would be a good idea!! LOLz0Rz
OK they blocked Lithuania, so we begin bombing in 5 minutes. We're in fucking NATO ffs, how could they DO this???
Time for dag to write an empty threat letter methinks.
Grrrrr. I'm having a problem with their embeds from Canada as well....
This sux...we finally have legal use of all this copyrighted material and they cripple it like this...why am I not surprised.
Though the first time I came across an adult swim video on the sift it didn't work for me at firts either. I had to do a hard refresh of the screen and then it worked.
they used to work. now they dont.
This is going to become an ever increasing problem as more hosts adopt a policy like this. Maybe we should allow the users to filter posts with embeds from hosts that are blocked for them, instead of not allowing posts from a particular host at all.
It doesn't surprise me, unfortunately. Even YouTube appears to be blocking some videos on a regional basis that are posted by corporate giants like Time Warner and Universal Music Group. I hope this isn't the future of internet video, because that would really hurt this site.
Can anyone think of a possible solution to this problem now just in case it gets worse (as I fear it might)?
We need a US based Sift-Proxy
