Will Spore Crash YouTube?

I want to make a prediction. YouTube will go down soon after July 17, the day that the Spore Creature Creator is released. Think about it. At least a million people will either download or buy it. One of its feature is uploading videos of your creature to YouTube. Most people will only do one short video, but I'm sure a small segment of the userbase will make hundreds of long videos. This is a ton of traffic, even without people watching all the uploaded videos. YouTube is already very, very popular, and the combined traffic will definitely not work in its favor.

@#$@ You, UPS!

Uggh. I order a laptop. I order 3-day shipping. They tell me it'll be here today. It didn't come. I really hate UPS (The S is for Sucks!)...

Broken: FAIL(!!!)

Here, look at this ad I saw today.
Right off the bat, you can tell what it's for. If you saw it live, you'd see two characters fighting. At a first glance, it's not broken, but if you look at it longer you see the "-Lire... FAIL!!!-" text at the bottom. Does this mean anything ingame? Dev inside jokes? Guess it must be its main selling point: "Find out what -Lire... FAIL!!!- means!"

It got even more broken from there. While I was pondering the meaning of -Lire... FAIL!!!-, the animation suddenly stopped. Didn't they think people might look at it for a minute or two?

They have such a terrible ad, but somehow I actually kinda want to play it. I'm lucky it doesn't run on Macs.

EDIT: Apparently, it's some secret programmer joke that no one's ever heard of. I think I read that somewhere.
