No Twitter for Hitler

Since Twitter is in the news again (See Tech-Media-Tainment post), I thought I'd post this YouTube video that shows Hitler getting mad because Twitter is down again.
It's a clip from the German film "Downfall" (2004) with new subtitles. This scene is one of the most remixed videos on YouTube. People have used this scene of actor Bruno Ganz portraying an angry outburst by the Nazi dictator for untold numbers of parody videos.
With new subtitles, Hitler gets mad at everything from Hillary Clinton's failed presidential bid to the defeat of HD DVD by Blu-ray Disc in the high-def format war. Other remixes have Hitler getting mad because he's banned from Xbox Live or Wikipedia.

Julie the Operator Lady

Microsoft's recent advances in speech-recognition technology for automated call centers made me think of this classic "Saturday Night Live" sketch. Rachel Dratch is terrific as "Julie the Operator Lady."

Autoworkers Compete to Keep Jobs, Livelihoods on New Reality Show

An Onion News Network parody that was ripped from the headlines.
"On 'Auto Warriors' two Ford plants will battle it out, building to the LIVE season finale event: one plant will close, 3,000 will get the axe!"
In real life, Fox is planning a reality TV show about layoffs called "Someone's Got to Go." See post on Tech-Media-Tainment.

Big Box and Maru

What is it about cats and boxes or bags? They just love to climb inside small spaces. Here's a funny video about a cat named Maru who investigates a big cardboard box.
The cat's owner has a lot of other similar videos and a Web page devoted to Maru here.
