Balloon Boy Breaks the Time Barrier

I thought that I had heard the last of the saga of the balloon boy on Tuesday evening in class, but I saw this item on youtube on Thursday. It seems that the story was so large and so pervasive in the media that it actually crossed the time barrier reaching back into history and effecting a major figure central to the course of WWII.


I thought it was a very imaginative way to use this film clip, which portrays a scene between a certain infamous leader and his general staff. While the spoken language is German, the subtitling was done in such a way as to create a satirical view of the most current news media circus.
