You Know That One Person... [Feb. 26th, 2009|09:44 am]
[music |Sleep - Dopesmoker]

There are people out there.  Some are old fashioned.  Some just ain't the type to be flexed with.  Some will go rooting through the bullshit for the truth when quite frankly there was nothing to go rooting around through.  Some people were just born in different eras of time and really just don't get it.

This is a real e-mail conversation (why it was e-mailed to me even though it had nothing to do with me I have no idea).  It's between one of those old fashioned types and someone who is a bit more contemporary.

First, I was sent this letter by the contemporary person telling me about the REAL story behind the Schutzstaffel (sp?), or SS (the Nazi secret police).  The e-mail is as follows...

The REAL history of the SS police.

One of the receivers of this e-mail besides myself was one of those old fashioned types.  Upon seeing the video they noticed something was off.  Something didn't quite fit.  "Old fashioned" played detective for a few hours, and just like that "Loose Change" dolt, found some startling results.  The the body of the e-mail is as follows...

"Of course, you know that this is not true footage, right?  I mean, it's in color and everything.  All film back then was b&w, and those were actors, scripts etc.  Still, we don't want to descend to the grammar of W now, do we?
 
Love, ***"

"Old fashioned" loves George W. Bush jokes as you can see.  And for a little more context on what the video in question is about, let's say it has to do with grammar.  So, we have Nazi history and grammar.  Sounds confusing, huh?  Patience please.

Now everyone in the god damned world would have seen that the video is obviously movie footage that is quite recent given the film clarity and its colorization.  And the god damned subtitles should have been a dead give away!!!!!!!!!  It was a spoof!!!  A parody of a clip of a movie revolving around Hitler!!!  Before "Old fashioned" could go a whole day with all the satisfaction of solving a crime, our contemporary friend had to let "Old fashioned" know that, frankly, they didn't study Criminal Justice in college.  The e-mail is as follows...

Oh ***. yes, I know its fake. Its funny! Its not even the real translations. Its a spoof on some movie footage. Just a really well done spoof.

Loves,

And now the moment you've been waiting for.  This is the spoof that someone had a sinking suspicion about.  This is what happens when people are circulating Nazi videos around the Internet under the false impression that they are real Nazi videos the government may not have wanted you to see.  This is the Downfall of Grammar:  The Real SS Police Story...
