I would think the celebrities these are supposed to be would sue the shit out of YouTube for allowing this whether they agree with the message or not. Seems like a pretty strong case. The interesting part is how would you ever authenticate these sort of messages. I would think after losing a few of these cases YouTube would stop allowing ANY celebrity type messaging.
