Fury Hitler's web craze

There has been a new viral craze sweeping Youtube featuring a scene from the Oscar winning 2004 film Downfall. The 3 minute scene taken from the film features an extremely angry Hitler exploding his rage, shouting at his generals as he is told he is losing the war all spoken in German with subtitles.

This viral craze shows the German speaking scene played by actor Bruno Ganz with pictures and sound but completely different English subtitles creating highly amusing scenarios. Stories ranging from a hysterical rage about Cristiano Ranaldo leaving Manchester United or his stolen car or his Xbox Live console subscription or the Hunt for the female G-spot or finding out he's gay! Or just about any thing you can think of! There's loads!

Apparently the craze began in Spain in 2006, shortly afterwards a British joker posted a version about his Xbox subscription being cancelled which has got nearly one million hits! The craze has spiraled to loads of spoofs which are currently running all over the internet. It looks pretty easy to create, simply download the scene and put your own subtitles over the top. What an awesome viral marketing campaign! I've watched quite a few now as they're all quite amusing and compete with one another. One of the popular ones is 'Mike Ashley sells Newcastle Utd' which has nearly one million hits! Check it out here on youtube.

Another one of my favorites features the scenario of 'Hunt for the G spot'. Some of these people must be copywriters! Very amusing!
