Help Remove a Seriously Offending Video from YouTube

Recently, a Video abusing Girls of IIT Kharagpur was uploaded on YouTube. The girls are feeling seriously offended as would be obvious to most people.

To the girls: I take responsibility for this most unfortunate action of my community (the IIT Kharagpur boys). I know you won't be able to forgive us but it is my duty to sincerely beg for forgiveness from you. Starting Saturday, 4th February 2011, I am going on an indefinite Fast as a penance against this evil.

To the Uploader and his supporters: Trust me dear friends, when I say that Videos like yours significantly add to ruining the atmosphere for women in India and seriously endangering their safety (which includes emotional safety). I have studied these issues closely and deeply. If not for the girls, please at least remove the Video for me. Starting Saturday, 4th February 2012, I am going on an indefinite Fast as a penance against this evil. I won't be able to survive long in this cold weather.

To the people who would call my Fast a publicity stunt for impressing girls: Try to Fast for a day and you will know that all desires for publicity or impressing people come only after the basic necessity of food is satisfied. May God bless you with wisdom to understand the true intentions of other people.

Isn't there a way other than an indefinite Fast? Since the offense is severe (to the extent of abuse), the penance to fight it has to be severe too. Furthermore, this is the only way to make the uploader and his supporters realise the seriousness of this issue.

Update: The Video has been removed by the Uploader. I sincerely thank him. Now there is no need to take the following steps
