The movie studio that made Downfall, the film that launched a thousand Hilter parody videos (previous posts here, here and here), is abusing copyright law by yanking the videos off YouTube. (Fair use, anyone?!?) Naturally, Hitler is not happy about this:
LOL!

RT @mattyglesias: Wait — Denver traded up (!) to pick Tebow (!) in the 1st round? WTF is wrong with them?

Five days after Tea Partiers rallied at the State Capitol building in Denver, a very different kind of protest/party took place in the same spot two days ago, Tuesday, 4/20. If the date doesn’t clue you in, you can divine the difference from the cloud of hazy smoke above their heads. It’s not a Tea Party, it’s a Weed Party:
The effect was even more extreme in Boulder:
Heh.

RT @slmandel: Do you think the whole 96-team scare was just an NCAA ruse so that we’d celebrate, not complain, about 68? If so, well played, NCAA.
By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)
RT @slmandel: Logistically, it would have been near-impossible to go to 96 with one year’s notice. My guess is it happen in ‘12

RT @aglock It’s the same bribe non-BCS football teams took to get extra meaningless BCS bowl. Some cash for their screwage. @midmajority

Re: 68-team tourney and “play-in ghetto,” @midmajority points out that mids will get 3 more win shares now. True. All about the Benjamins.

Test tweeting from “new” phone. It’s a Sanyo 8200, so technically a downgrade — but unlike the 8300, it can tether! :) No Gmail app, tho.

NCAA expands to 68, not 96, at least for now. All current #16 seeds, and 3 of 4 current #15s, go to playin games. Low-majors screwed. Again.

Oh good lord. Heaven save us. RT @ABC: VP Biden on @theviewtv. VP’s proclivity for candor + View ladies’ random Qs = potential for great TV.
