Please dont use content that is not visible outside the US. Or, if it is that important or noteworthy, how about also providing a link that works outside the US ?

Similar issues exist on other services as well. As I've mentioned previously on numerous posts you can try using a proxy server to watch these videos outside the US. In fact that info is part of our FAQ now: http://laughingsquid.com/faq/#video-outside-us
