If that screen shot is an honest depiction of what was posted, I can see You Tube's point!
There is every reason to think the appearance is that of a somewhat flat-breasted woman!
And before anyone jumps at me, I'm a 52 year old seropoz out single gwm who in general is very liberal in his views.
I do not personally find it offensive, nor provocative, but I can see why You Tube did, and what I don't mind, being me, if I had the job of having to make the call on such a video, "yea" or "nay," I would have erred on the side of caution, and suggested removal of said video.
