Block that website with your firewall.  That would be an easy fix.  If you want 
to be real funny install a Packeteer box and redirect the google videos dll to 
www.cdc.gov  Also, throttle all video traffic to use something like 1K.  It 
will be so slow they will stop looking at videos.

  We limited the use of Windows Media Player on our farm as there was no 
workplace justification for it and did not want memory/cpu/bandwidth wasted on 
it.  

  Now, folks are going to http://video.google.com and watching video with the 
installed Macromedia Player.  We recently realized the ability of the flash 
component to play video.

  How do you prevent this?
