Hitler and the Vuvuzela

The "Hitler Finds Out" phenomenon not surprisingly has weighed in on the World Cup-ubiquitous vuvuzela.



"Hitler and the vuvuzela at the 2010 Fifa World Cup" although funny, fails to miss the key issues at the core of the vuvuzela controversy: that one's culture's musical instruments is another's annoying noisemaker resulting in the trumpeting of culturally-biased attitudes.

See earlier Goal 2010! post: Vuvuzela.

In all events, watch it while you can. Objections lodged by Constantin Film, owners of the "Downfall" copyright, have triggered the systematic removal of the "Hitler videos" from YouTube. [See Huffington Post article"'Downfall' Parody Clips Slowly Being Removed By YouTube."]
