I’ve been busy lately, haven’t had much time to post anything. Here is a quick post. I ran across this video the other day. It’s a clip from a German movie Downfall, a movie about the last few days of Hitler’s life. The scene is one where the chief officers of the Third Reich finally give Hitler the grave truth on the imminent fall of Berlin and the Reich instead of sugar-coating all the reports to him as they had been. It’s a very intense and grave scene, but there are several videos where people have added subtitles that are completely non-sequitur: this one is where Hitler learns about the production for the live-action Dragonball Z.
I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop laughing. Maybe the thought that there really are people as passionate about DBZ as a dictator is about his power. There’s also a hilarious comment on the YouTube page: “For the first time in my life, I completely agree with Hitler.”

I saw a version of this that had subtitles about the gas shortage in Nashville. It probably wouldn’t be funny if you didn’t know the Nashville area and local politicians, but it was surprisingly funny. Clever, clever people. I wondered where the video came from, though — thanks for answering my curiosity.
