Vin Diesel 'At Odds' With Youtube Admins After Actor Starts Channel to Stream Himself Using the Toilet - eviltoast

Vin Diesel recently found himself in the hot seat after the actor’s YouTube channel was called inappropriate by the board of executives. Diesel and YouTube leadership had words in an emotionally-charged conversation streamed on the website.

“You’re filming yourself… pooping, into the toilet, which I’m told isn’t currently breaking any guidelines so there’s nothing we can do, but don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”

Diesel recently started the channel to promote the Netflix series Fast and Furious: Spy Racers and doesn’t see anything wrong with the videos.

“I don’t show logs, I don’t show hogs. I cover up the sounds with a SpongeBob laugh, I even keep an air freshener in the outlet. I’m not hurting anybody.”

While Diesel makes valid points, the YouTube board of executives is opposed to the idea of potentially showing sensitive content to minors.

“That SpongeBob laugh isn’t fooling anybody. I don’t know what you’re eating but I guarantee that toilet looks like a Jackson Pollack painting. It’s SpongeBob laughing and marbles hitting porcelain in the background.”

Diesel fired back, giving an impassioned response to the executives’ claims.

“I understand where you’re coming from, but I think you view your audience as numbers. I treat my fans like family, and family doesn’t poop with the door closed. It’s that simple.”

Diesel and YouTube seem destined to continue locking horns for the foreseeable future. YouTube has contacted Viacom to file a copyright claim but the company seems happy with the free publicity. We will continue to update as more information becomes available.
