The smiley YouTube shows for "this video is not available in your country" looks a lot like our

Tried to get the video with a US proxy. Couldn't.

i didn't even get the 'sorry about that' part

if you put your phone number & address on Facebook you deserve everything it brings!!

so if someone gets killed/raped/maimed/... (fi. by a serial killer/rapist/mutilator) because he/she put his/her phone number & address on FB, it means he/she deserved it?

You don't deserve anything for doing that. Facebook on the other hand should be critized and compelled to remove such forms. Nonetheless, that most likely won't happen, but I'll voice my opinion regardless.

lol, i know what he meant by it, it goes to show how his absolute formulation does not apply in an absolute manner - might be a good idea not to use these if one is not 'absolutely' sure about their meaning

the rapist messed up the structure a bit, though it seems this wasn't the (main) reason for your 'misinterpretation', eh?
