Nein, Nein, Nein, Nein, Nein

Bad news. The Hitler parodies, a mainstay of YouTube, and a great source of entertainment for people around the planet, are being taken down. The ideas was to take the scene from Downfall (a fine movie, btw) where Hitler rants away in his bunker, and put in subtitles that have him talking about any events of the day that seem to be bothering him.

The film's director thought it was fine, but the production company has had enough. I think this is a mistake. I don't think they're helping their film, and they're making a lot of people angry. (If only I could do a Hitler parody about this).

Maybe we need a clarification in copyright law. When the parody becomes bigger than the original, you can't stop it.

Some of those parodies were absolutely outstanding comedy. Too bad.

They're just disappearing from YouTube. They will still be available elsewhere.
