Looking For The Daniela Cicarelli Video?

Its getting tough to keep track of. Thanks to Daniela Cicarelli, the YouTube is getting blocked all over Brazil.

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Brazil's ban on YouTube spread to the nation's populous south Tuesday, with a huge Internet provider switching off access to the site in response to a judicial order banning a sexy video of supermodel Daniela Cicarelli.

Spanish-owned Telefonica SA issued a statement that it blocked the popular video sharing site after receiving the order, preventing millions of Internet users in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro from viewing YouTube.

The announcement affecting Brazil's biggest cities and most populous states came a day after telecommunications company Brasil Telecom SA confirmed that it had blocked the site in a swath of the country stretching from the capital of Brasilia to the Amazon.

I'm sure the Brazilians love this. Way to earn the love of your countrymen, there, Daniela! I understand there's now a Boycott Daniela movement in the works.

In other news, it looks like Daniela Cicarelli's lawyers have been working overtime to squash copies of the now-famous video, which took the top spot from the Saddam Hanging Video last week. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is, but if you're looking for the video, you can find it here, here, here and here.
