What is youwintube?

If you happened to check out youtube today (well, who hasn’t?), you will notice comments on many videos saying something like:

click on your address bar, type in the word “win” between “you” and “tube”, so it looks like “youwintube” then press enter

If you do it, this message appears on top:

YouWinTube is activated! To win, post as many comments as you can in 3 minutes telling others how to get here. Next Prize – iPad 64GB. Your results will automatically be displayed. Example comment “click on your address bar, type in the word “win” between “you” and “tube”, so it looks like “youwintube” then press enter” Post on any videos below.

Well, I did a Page Source check and I rooted out this URL: theinternethustler.com

I visited the site and… voila! Is that Justin Bieber? Or a lesbian who looks like Justin Bieber?

Whatever, but I admire this person’s ingenuity. Harnessing the power of YouTube to make money off some ClickBank products.

Although I can not tell if he really is giving away that iPad 64GB. That remains to be seen.
