Who translated YouTube to Dutch?!?

The Dutch translation of YouTube is REALLY terrible. Dutch will know what I mean... but perhaps English can also get the general idea if I translate it using the same level of intelligence they used

The marital status says:
Relationstate with the options: Single (probably they forgot they to translate it), Screwed, To open.

Did they use Altavista's Babelfish to translate it?!?!? I don't think my wife would appreciate to hear I got screwed when I married her :-o. To verify, try it yourself!

Conclusion; do not hire an intern to translate a website.
