I really object to the notion that the only thing that should come to mind when you think about world war two or Nazi Germany is the holocaust. As a Jew, its certainly quite relevant to me, but that does not mean a movie like downfall is basically about the holocaust. It isn’t, as I recall the holocaust wasn’t even mentioned. Hitler wasn’t just a mass murderer, he also overthrew the German government and conquered half of Europe. So it is only in the eye of the prejudiced beholder that the Hitler XBOX live video has anything to do with the holocaust. I thought the video was funny because, to read the way people in web forums talk about having their XBOX live subscription canceled, you would think they were watching their life’s work crumble around them. The joke is in comparing a man loosing his empire to an angry internet denizen loosing their video game subscription.
