Yes, the story is over 2 days old...and for those of you who don't know, read the original coverage and come back to us: Ad Agency To Internet: Take Down That Teen Sex J.C. Penney Ad!Saatchi & Saatchi, J.C. Penney's ad agency, made their apologies and placed the blame on a 3rd party. 2 days ago, they took the initiative to take it down...
...OR SO WE THOUGHT! I imagine all you simpletons ran searches on Google, YouTube and other sites...and couldn't find it! BUT IF YOU READ THE ALLEY INSIDER ARTICLE ABOVE you would have noticed it said:
"The bigger issue: As Saatchi & Saatchi knows full well, you can't take something off the Internet once it's up there -- if they don't believe us, check out Wikipedia! Nick Denton's Gawker has already served notice that it intends to host the video if YouTube pulls it -- and it will have a good argument that its news value will trump anyones copyright claim at that point."
...and they kept their end of the deal: CHECK OUT THE VIDEO HERE
I would have copied the source code to host it here, but they've decided to imbed it in there site leaving us "newVideoPlayer("/jcpenney_teensex_gawker.flv", 506, 423,"");" with no way of tracing it!
Hats off to Gawker for having the "muchachas" to host the video, and the "selfish attitude" for keeping it to themselves!
