The ironies:
1) I would probably never even have heard about this movie were it not for the parodies. Now, I would like to see it sometime (the Nazi period being something I have a morbid fascination with -- not unlike rubbernecking at freeway pileups).
2) The parodies aren't making fun of the movie; they're using a powerful piece of footage to lampoon other things (mismanagement of sports teams, favorite TV shows jumping the shark, etc.)
I've enjoyed a number of these parodies, particularly the font one recently.
Eamon: have you listened to Dan Carlin's four-part series (mp3 link I think) on Hitler's war in the East? It's amazing.
Brilliant!

@2:15 - "We might as well all become communists. Like Stallman!!" lolz...
That's fantastic, hah. Reed/Eamon: yes, that Dan Carlin series (and his entire podcast) is terrific military history.
