Not my kind of video, but I've saved it anyway in case it's taken down.

I wish YouTube would add a utility to rotate the picture through ninety degrees. Is there really an entire generation growing up who can quite happily watch material like that without bending their head over at an horrific angle?

I know! I have no idea why 1. The idiots that take video don't hold their phone/camera correctly, 2. Why they don't correct it before upload, and 3. Why YouTube doesn't provide a rotate option.

I DO know why Adobe doesn't provide a rotate option in the Flash player: because they suck (and not in a good way).

Fortunately, you can download anything good and rotate it in QuickTime or VLC.

1. They feel like more fits on there if they rotate it. Phones and cameras usually correct for that, but not in videos.
2. They're lazy and do not know how to (I suppose).
3. That would be a good suggestion to them actually. Submit it!

And you're right about Adobe and VLC.

I use an unstable Compiz plugin to rotate my complete windows xD
