Anybody else having trouble getting YouTube to open today (Mon., Aug. 27)?

I can't get it to open in either Firefox or IE.

Something appears to be amiss with the website. It is not loading for me at this moment. Could be a severed optic cable, a DDoS attack, excessive amount of people trying to view one new popular posting, or a hiccup in their server equipment.

Try again later.

YouTube is slowly returning to life. I think I see the reason for the overload. It may be one of the videos being watched by a lot of people, something named BJ Girl.

There is a new variant of the Storm Trojan that tries to fool people into clicking on links that purport to go to YouTube videos. In fact, they go to Storm Trojan infected computers where you get infected. Hovering over these links without clicking on them will reveal a numeric IP address, which is your confirmation that this came from a Zombie BotNet computer.
