You could be a comedian....I hear Michael Richards (http://youtube.com/watch?v=XCbrEbEyheM) is looking for a sidekick.

:p Heil Hitler, Heil Hitler, Heil Hitler :p
This man is in Hell awaiting the great white throne judgment. People who do crime in Hitler's name are still adding to his punishment. This is a horrible place that no man can comprehend.

Michael Richards is one of lowest of the low, the reason you need to insult me is?
Oh, I saw your picture on the message, now I know why you could not control yourself

Luckily I have refrained from clicking the link, therefore I feel that I have kept myself at least two minutes of my life :D

With that extra time you can have another cigarette. :D
Or you can watch the grass grow....better then viewing that video.
Really dude, if you hate ham radio so much, why associate yourself with it at all? I mean if you dont like it you're free to cancel your license and sell your gear, then you wont be annoyed by the people on the air.
Or better yet, just turn the dial and avoid it.
You don't like contests/pileups/big guns/etc - we get it, nobody cares, get a life that doesn't include complaining about stuff that wont change.

It is clear this video paraody has no connection to Godwin's Law.
Thu Godwin's Law does not apply

It is curious if indeed nobody cares why do I have over 7000 views of my video and many many compliments and and almost as many complaints?
Hams care, they may not agree, but they care, and like you no matter what their view they express it with intellect
Moderately comical in a rather irreverent way.
I kept waiting for hitler (and I use a lower case h to show disrespect) to stroke out and someone using a 2 meter handheld with an autopatch to call for an ambulance. :D:D:D
The video appears to be No Longer Available On YouTube.

Clicking on a link that leads to your video generates a "hit" but that dosent necessarily mean they watched the entire video. I watched about 5 seconds of you Hitler "parody".

considering the video started with a title that reads 'a fictional account' and is a badly dubbed and subttitled clip of a fictional conversation with AH, from a made for TV movie about the third reich, I am betting it's all bogus.
I could be worng, your mileage may vary...

Stick around...

The dubbing is poorly done. Certainly not what Hitler was saying...
Could Hitler be VE7KFM? Sounds like rants I have heard on 20 meters...Hi.
Yes and the great Ham Radio microphone ad of the day had the motto:
"For the best microphones in the Fatherland, seek Heil!"

You are betting it is bogus?
I have heard few dumb comments here but that takes the cake.
Of COURSE IT IS BOGUS, you think Hitler or any real person cares about ham radio?

Real people?
I guess the people that you see every day are just figments of your imagination. Lots of people care about ham radio, does that mean they are not "real"?

YouTube is what is not real. Anyone, anywhere, can post anything they want to, and declear it is the zenith of truth.
When I see something with a link to YouTube, I just move on to something else. I don't do bubblegum or play in the mall.

Comic genius Mel Brooks did it far better way back in 1968 and again in 2002.

Youtube has plenty of decent videos.....not necessarily fiction. Lots of Ham related vids. K7AGE (randy) has plenty of informative vids....I highly recommend him at least!

There are quite a few about CW on there too.
Cost of a computer $500
Cost of an internet connection $39.95 per month
Finding out about YouTube......... zero
Finding a video on YouTube showing someone sending CW.........zero
Wondering what all those dots and dashes mean................... zero
Spending an hour a day for a month teaching yourself what those dots and dashes mean (because you want to, not because you have to).... 30 hours
Hearing the sound and getting the message for the first time...........priceless
Getting on the air and sending someone a message for the first time (because you want to) .......... priceless
This reminds me of a Mel Brooks production :)
