As a bit of a weekend diversion, for those of you who have yet to experience the recent phenomenon of "Hitler finds out ..." YouTube videos, below is a link to "Hitler Finds Out Sarah Palin Resigns." Like a score or more related videos ["Hitler finds out Ronaldo is off to Real Madrid,""Hitler finds out Michael Jackson has died," "Hitler gets scammed on eBay," "Hitler loves his waffles," "Hitler gets banned from Xbox Live," and the self-reflexive "Hitler Finds Out He's A Joke On YouTube," the video uses the same 3:49 sequence from the 2004 film "Downfall." The brilliant Bruno Ganz stars as Hitler in the film – and the sequence. The film tracks Hitler in his final days in a Berlin bunker at the end of WWII.
Watch
Enjoy.

I asked my brilliant German colleague NJ in Stuttgart to take a look at one of the "Hitler finds out" videos. She comments: "Very confusing for me to watch since I automatically listen to the spoken word rather than read the text. But if I turn down the volume it kinda works."
She also sent sent a link to "Barack Obama Schwäbisch - Rede Berlin", in which Obama is dubbed in a Schwäbisch [Swabian] dialect. She writes: "The text embodies a stereotypical Swabian janitor who talks to the masses about what bothers him most: dirty bikes, muddy snow, and if the bikes with the mud don't disappear he'll throw them out."
Below are links to a couple of favorites. At the time of this post, I note that there are now fewer than eight new versions addressing the recent incident at VMA's, including "Hitler finds out Kanye West Disses Taylor Swift."
