Has anyone posted about this yet? I first saw it on the Beanpot thread at USCHO.

Personally, I liked IvyGate's take on it:

I've never been more embarrassed for Elmira native Brian Williams.

So are the Alps...
So some kid's parents named him "Andrew Johnson" and sent him to Yale. Presidential envy much?

This sucker runs 16:49 and no doubt the sons of Eli behind Why I Chose Yale are planning a director's cut to restore the material they couldn't quite squeeze in given the abbreviated run time. Were they all on a game show and the penultimate question was, "Fill in the blank: '______ is the soul of wit,'" they would not collect the Samsonite luggage and trip to Bermuda.

Let's create our own Cornell video and in the fashion of the moment, don't bother shooting new video. Just add English subtitles to the bunker scene from Downfall, the 2005 movie about Hitler's last days. My favorites:
Adolf rants on his E39 BMW 5 Series cooling problems My personal favorite. The acronyms are a bit dense: E60 is the current 5 Series, E39 the previous, CEL is Check Engine Light, Vanos is variable cam timing, FSU is final stage unit (fan blower motor resistor) and you know who [Chris] Bangle is. Pitiful grammar and spelling.
Hitler banned from Xbox Live One of the originals
Texas A&M (?) football rant " ... no one loses to freaking Baylor"
Ranting on Drupal By the son of Peter Lewis, tech columnist for NY Times and Fortune, now a Knight Fellow (journalism not hoops) at Stanford

Adding your own words to Downfall is going to be a pop cult thing like dancing to the Macarena at a 1999 bar mitzvah. One could see a Mike Schafer rant version. Do any of the officers who remain behind (when the others are dismissed) look like B Nash? Or he could talk about the officiating.Trotsky
Another word for nothing left to lose.
Vikings fans are probably making one right now about Adrian Peterson / Brett Favre turnovers. It will reach critical mass when Letterman mentions Downfall parodies on his monologue.

Passable spoof of the admissions video, or maybe it was made earlier, but at least it's only 5 minutes long. God help you if the fast forward button doesn't work.
