Hitler Redux

This is funny... Hitler finds out about the BP Gulf spilll...



Lots of people have used this clip from the film Downfall and pasted in new dialog to spoof all kinds of things. The idiot owner of the copyright has spent lots of time & money trying to suppress this playful editing. The joke is that the public's editing has no effect on the value of the film commercially. If anything, it might add some value by making people curious about the original film. But the owners of this film have the same knee-jerk reaction as the RIAA and the MPAA to claim "copyright" on anything the moves, breathes, or wiggles. Follow the sad tale here and here and here and here.
