  1. ROTFLMAO!
    I like how NASSA looks like "Massa."

  2. "We thought we would be heroes, but in the end, we were just negroes."

    Long, but I loved it. Best Ken Burns parody I've ever seen. I can't wait to see what they do next. Any more?

  3. ^ Des. This piece was actually made in 2003. I remember when it first hit the Web.

    The creator, Andy Bobrow, made the most out of it, getting work as a sitcom writer ("Malcolm in the Middle").

    I agree, it's quite well done. It has its own website.

  4. I laughed myself to tears. Loved the bus with the propulsion rockets up its ass -- and then, later, seeing it crashed, nose first, into a building; the pretentious, kufi-wearing, Jewish African American Studies prof; and the attention to detail (the fine print on the poster, "Enjoy cotton candy and beer.... Ni**ers!" and the newspaper article).

    You say this has been out for five years? Dang! Didn't know about it. It's a nice piece of work.
