German Youtube sensation Pad-E-Cake faced humiliation and an end to his income stream, when his channel, which consisted of clips of him making funny voices while unboxing and eating candy from all over the world, was pulled by Google, Youtube's owner. According to a Google representative, Pad-E-Cake's light-hearted jokes about the Holocaust, and his penchant for wearing a vintage Schutzstaffel uniform on camera, had resulted in an Anti-Defamation League-sponsored petition calling for Pad-E-Cake's content to be removed from the popular streaming service. At the time of Google's announcement, the petition had well over one million signatures from around the globe. During an exclusive interview with Fox News, Pad-E-Cake, whose monthly income from the Youtube channel, which had over 8 million followers worldwide, peaked at $US950,000, said, "The so-called Anti-Defamation League is nothing but an incubator of propaganda. These people are doing what they have done for so long: using their control of the media to squash the expressive freedom of artists such as myself."
