Yea, its called a media blackout. Chances are the government is probably doing some crazy stuff up there.
You have to understand Governments look at civilians just as that civilians, they do not think you can handle the truth, and should just leave it to the professionals.
I would say no news isn't good news for people in Japan. The fact that they are playing stupid comedy game shows, is appalling, if I lived 100 miles south of a nuclear site where the reactors were oozing radioactive waste, and my media was not doing their job for the people, I would be pissed off, and sure as hell would not trust my government, and I would prob. stop paying my damn taxes!!!
That is sick thou, Japanese tv channels playing price is right, while radiation is oozing towards them.
reminds me of the ignorance is bliss, one liner.
their could be unsafe levels of radiation all over Tokyo right now...

Last year, 580,000 radiation alerts were detected, according to a Department of Homeland Security official.

Watching the video & it's interesting. I did a Google search though & only a few sites mention Youtube being blocked in Japan. Like Godlike Productions. I haven't seen it on any news stories.

Yesterday I was anxious to show this video to my wife, though as I tried to show her, the video was simply gone from my Facebook page. I'm glad that it's still available.. what they are doing is more than insidious. Those poor people are collateral damage.. The people cannot stand for this..
I'm sorry, but that is the silliest response I have EVER seen!

That's exactly what it is. Play some mind numbing crap and people will feel safer, like there's nothing to worry about.
Its like the musicians playing a soothing song as the Titanic sinks.

Ain't that like the definition of a coverup and media blackout?

Great video. In a situation like this the Internet may be the only source of information for the Japanese and youtube being a resource. I don't understand why in the world youtube would be restricted in japan. This is very very ridiculous.
