Hitler Angered Over Changes at SXSW

In a brilliant, Urgent Genius-created parody about how things have changed over the years at SXSW, we have Hitler, in a scene from some movie we’ve seen but can’t quite place, lamenting the changes SXSW has seen over the years.

Everyone gets trashed in the spoof. Pete Cashmore, Mashable, Foursquare, the iPhone, the TRON Lounge, the Samsung Blogger Lounge, Chevrolet’s Tweet House, the Pepsi Max Playground, the iPad2 pop up store, the Sobe Lizard Lounge.

If you were there, you can see the humor in all of this. If you weren’t then just witness the changes you’ve seen in the conferences you have attended over the years. They get bigger, more corporate and brand presence proliferates. But SXSW has the seen the biggest changes in the shortest amount of time. Which is what makes this video so funny.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
