YouTube – 500 Internal Server Error. A nice joke from YouTube.

The error page had a nice link to the report form. Clicked it, filled it in. The error page asked me to include some kind of encoded abra-cadabra in my report (example of this arba-cadabra: "0rF3m6tOvt-q5Dlktd3-fpLj8oGDzySl21207UB ... ... ... Rr7B1cjENm_TJhEY5_cagqyxHYMPi9HjU3o="). Ok, no problemo! Copy-paste into the "Message" box. Nothing else to do - I press "Submit". Well-well-well, what have we got here? An error! Here it is:
