YouTube vids crap out about 50% of the time on my computer when I go through HA.

What I’ve noticed – I tend to open many tabs at once and then read at leisure – is that if I don’t click the link immediately, it times out.

Refreshing the page (F5 in firefox) usually makes the YouTube embed viewable again.

Oh great! Now I’ve got a hankering for White Castles. Unfortunately I’ve got to settle for the suckie frozen ones.

Methinks the bit at the end with the bugs has to do with the cockroaches surviving nuclear holocaust and feeding on our remains after humans have all killed each other off.

That made me hungry and lose my appetite all a once.

Yeah, me too.

I’m another one for whom seeing the burger towers falling was just a LITTLE too raw, still. Frankly, I doubt it’ll ever NOT be raw for me. Someday if I’m lucky enough to be some wizened little 80-year old, even then it will STILL be too raw for me.

They also forgot to have the sushi shtupping the potstickers and eggrolls. (i.e., Rape of Nanjing)

On my screen the Kimchi looked like pasta w/tomato sauce.
And I thought “what did the ITALIANS have to do with the Asian conflicts?” Then when I realized it was kimchi, it all fell into place.

The stroganoff was gross. Maybe they shoulda used a bottle of Vodka to represent the Russians instead.

BOTH the Arab and Israeli sides shoulda had the Falafel. It’s actually lebanese food, the Israelis simply adopted it and made it more well known in the West.

I’m an Idiot.

The thing I thought was Eastern Europe was a Cuban Sandwich.

Cuban Missile Crisis? uh, Hello?

I got my sandwiches mixed up.

The arms race at 2:38 is awesome. The beef nuke was pretty sweet too.

This is a google cache of the Battle Breakdown page. the other page listed has a cached copy but it is not useful give it uses pictures ( which at this moment are broken.

Wow. How long did that take to make?

Scenes I’d like to see: Cuban missile crisis/Bay of pigs

Grenada

Panama

Was the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait there? I have to watch again.

Serbia? Was that in there? Awesome nonetheless, but the towers will forever be something that hurts, no matter how it’s depicted. I relive it every time.

Also missing was the collapse and rebuilding of the beef stroganoff.

And pretzels actualy came from Austria, but then again, so did Hitler.

I think you're right. It looks like a play on that old Fred Quimby cartoon "Peace on Earth".

Two more things worth noting:

-Looks like 3 of 4 names in the credits are Jooos (like me)

-I could use a cuban sandwich right now. Highly unkosher, but MMMMM.

Or the fact that the Pretzels were working with the Shish Kebabs all along.

You know what was also missing? The part where the Beef Stroganoff rotted the Hamburger from within. Just Like it did with the Spring Rolls, Kimchi and Pot Stickers.

Did anyone else notice controlled explosions inside of those hamburger towers? I also noticed a freedom fry wearing cowboy boots coming out right before the explosions were triggered.

Was there pizza, meatballs or pasta in WWII, or did I miss it?

NeoConSnakePlissken — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:45:57 +0000

OH!

I forgot.

Pretzels / Sausage: Germans

They seemed to have forgotten the Spaghetti in the beginning as well…

I can’t decide whether this is twisted crap or poignant genius. Either way an original piece.

OK - here's a handy key in no particular order for the historically and gastronomically challenged: Hamburgers / Chicken Nuggets / White Castle / Fries: Americans Beef Stroganoff: Russians Egg Roll / Pot Stickers: Chinese Matzoh / Bagel & Lox : Jews & Israel Croissants: French Falafel Balls: Muslim Terrorists Cold Cut Sandwich: Eastern Europe Sushi: Japanese Kimchi: Koreans Spring Roll: Vietnamese Shish Kebab (No Pepper): Arab Muslims & Afghan Muslims Shish Kebab (Yellow Pepper): Kuwait Shish Kebab (Red Pepper): Iraq Fish & Chips : Great Britain Go Hamburgers & Matzoh!

Are the bugs the international bankers?

No, they’re… (shriek!) New York Money People!
