blog.wired.com — Earlier this week, YouTube pulled the plug on funnyman and media artist Santeri Ojala, whose hilarious and popular "shredding" videos poke fun at the world's greatest guitar players. Here, for your viewing pleasure, are the videos YouTube refuses to host.

This is a sad day for me- (for any guitarist, or anyone who is musically inclined anyway) those were among the funniest videos on Youtube. I could rarely get through those (esp. the Clapton and Iron Maiden ones) without laughing myself uncontrollably to tears.This news truly sucks.Also, if Malmsteen was the one who truly got the vids pulled, that just serves to prove how much a c**ky wanker he is.

Typical humorless corporate america. Santeri Ojala is an uncanny humor genius and I hope he can continue hisrevelatory art at a different online venue.
