    Remove Alt-Text from [youtube] tag

    This has been annoying me ever since I got my iPod Touch and started visiting from it. The iPod doesn't have Flash (because Apple and Adobe can't come to an agreement on the matter, bunch of pussies), but it does have a feature where non-alt'd YouTube objects display their preview image and allow the user to click them to start the YouTube app.

    The problem I have is that, due to the NEED A DISPENSER HERE alt-text applied when Flash is not available or the video fails to load overrides the built-in YouTube handling, making it near-impossible to see what the video is.

    However, on the various special tags people use in their signatures to pull music from YouTube videos, this doesn't happen (and I see a very small version of the preview pic and can click it and go to the video).


    Basically, to sum things up, get rid of the NEED A DISPENSER HERE so I can watch the damn YouTube videos on my iPod, kthxbye.

    This video is unable to be displayed because the YouTube video tags were used incorrectly. Please review proper use of the tags here.

    Wow, that was probably the single most annoying thing I've ever listened to.

    I tested it and I just see the blue question mark block on the iPhone after removing the "NEED A DISPENSER HERE"
