Not outside. Don't forget, in your rant, that most of Europe held the borders shut so the Jews living there, could not escape what they all knew was coming. http://exile.ru/articles/detail.php?ARTICLE_ID=8414&IBLOCK_ID=35 Now, It's been a fair bit of time since the guy was alive. Pinochet, Pol Pot, Mao, all came after, I believe, as did Rwanda, and Darfur, and Kosovo, and Serbia, and Afghanistan and Iraq, etc. We know Hitler was a bad guy. However, his thoughts were not some evil spell upon people. He had a _slightly_ extreme viewpoint of the time. ( Google "Anti-Semitism" in Europe). My point? I thought it was funny. I thought it was funny precisely because it used Hitler. Humor is often a dissonance between the perceived gravity of situations. Hell, If he _had_ said the subtitles in german, with the exact same video, it _still_ would have been funny. I don't know german. I have however been in the role as of the generals, except of course I was a developer, and our shit was not working and those of us who left the room pitied the ones who had to stay. He is ranting. The humor comes from the fact that ANY rant like that can be applied to any situation, especially corporate ones. We know he's a bad guy. BTW, what is the name of the Native tribe that used to live where your city is, o benefiter from genocide? Greg,

I must admit you twitters are true to your chosen name but it's shocking that you don't even understand the mild objections from people who have actually read a book or two on this subject or who weren't asleep during history 101. This video is not original, see dude's posting, not funny, my opinion, not technically interesting. They just stole a bit of film and changed the subtitles; geeez what great geniuses are at work here. Any 8 year old kid could have done that. Yes you can argue about taste... this video is tasteless to put it very mildly. If you really think this is funny you are in dire straits and need some professional help urgently or maybe you should read up a little on history or watch some discovery channel. Be careful though this might overload your "working" braincell. except for dude, greg, mach, gerhard and meik the other comments are pathetic… get a “real” life kiddies….. comparing your little twitter “problems’ to this.. but then what can you expect from people who twitter (look it up in the dictionary).

Maybe if producers dubbed the audio with voice saying what is in subtitles was more funny and creative. Still so, that's show our frustration about Twitter, and our fight for freedom in which a tool that eat our lives, try to stop us, to limit our friendship, due to their problems.
