Seriously Annoying Youtube "feature"

So here's the thing; I don't like to embed YouTube vids in posts, because embedded vids slow the load-time for a thread. Put enough of them in, and the thread never completely loads, it just blinks continually while you're trying to read it (and yes, I have excellent high-speed cable Internet, and I'm a PC tech so the problem is NOT on my end).
Anyhow.
Today I decided to link to a couple of YouTube vids. Operative word "LINK."
As in the code sez [ur l=http://whatever.thing ]I'm Hypertext! [/u rl ] (without the spaces)
And the stupid board interface sees the YouTube URL and automatically turns my hypertext links into embedded video!!!
Grr.
This is stupid. Hopefully there's a simple radio button somewhere in the back-end that turns on and off this asinine glitch feature. Please, please please somebody click the switch!
