The movie "Downfall," a 2004 German film chronicling the final days of Adolf Hitler, has become the source of seemingly endless parodies on YouTube. WikiLeaks is just the latest story line to be overlaid (using subtitles) onto a "Downfall" scene in which Hitler rants in front of his inner circle.
In one recent YouTube post, Hitler laments that WikiLeaks is spoiling plans for his mother's birthday party. In another Hitler calls Mr. Assange and tries to get him interested in new details about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. (Assange claims that's "boring," preferring something more current.)
And another "Downfall" takeoff shows Hitler getting angry because hackers have shut down access to WikiLeaks websites.
Warning: The videos can include language that wouldn't be printed in a family newspaper.
