did youtube get hacked?

(screenshot of youtube's front page in firefox with Youtube's page identifying itself as "The Online Predator's Best Friend".

I don't use any "weird" extensions in firefox. (mostly adblocking stuff.)

(People are free to speculate that I fucked with the code for the page myself. I claim that I didn't, but either you're going to believe me or not.)

Normal here;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40uR9nV4C9A is what you just had that tab open to.

Did you by chance watch Stephanie sterlings latest video that have that exact title before going back to the frontpage? If that's the case my guess is it's just a bug and the title stuck.

Yep. That's exactly what it was. I feel stupid.
