Strange Wiki page Powned Youtube.com

Strange as it may seem, some Wiki page has taken the liberty to nest itself on the youtube webserver and therefore taking the real youtube offline. This appears to be a hack although it could very well be nothing more than a faulty redirect.
This afternoon was one of the rare days in which I would like to have found comfort in watching dull Youtube video's but as it turned out Youtube.com wasn't redirecting me to the Youtube homepage instead it showed a Wiki from the Wikimedia foundation.
Today hasn't been that swell of a day at Google for their Calendar and Gmail services also had to deal with some downtime. Although Google being.. well Google, it was all over in a hitch. Luckily for you guys I captured the whole Wiki glitch in a nice screenshot as shown above.
You know I'm just being an ass writing this, Google is providing such amazing services for free and in the case of Youtube at a loss, and they seldom get downtime. Even though half the world is pulling Google's servers they're always up to speed and glitches never last long. Neither did this one, Youtube is back as we all know it and 'love' it.
