Youtube Censoring Videos In Philippines

I can't imagine why this would be the case — especially for a Justin Timberlake video — but I've noticed it on more than a couple of Youtube videos lately: Certain videos apparently are not allowed to be watched only if you are in the Philippines.

Well, there is an easy way to get around that:

Just copy the alphanumeric code from the video page URL (the one after the “=” sign) and paste it after this: http://www.youtube.com/v/

So this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLN59ZOweUE

…becomes this:

http://www.youtube.com/v/pLN59ZOweUE

The resulting video player fills your browser window, sans autoplay.
