More than 600,000 people so far have watched this SNL remix of Mel Gibson's Apocalypto on YouTube. My thanks to Doug Karr for pointing me to it. His most recent post seems to have a a nice content for my link.
It's funny how comedy keeps evolving as a powerful tool against those who deserve it. In my parents generation, this would have been a single Herblock political cartoon. In the 60s, young adults would have chortled at an Saturday Night Live TV skit. But now we have remixing and YouTube and boy is it powerful. I hope when it all sorts out, more people will see the YouTube version than Gibson's movie.
And as Bill Murray would have said to Gibson in the 60s, your a goofball kid, now go on get out of here. Go have yourself a Happy Hanukah, Mel. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
The very bottom.
