Brunyeels downfall thumb.pngLance Armstrong spoof Hitler video sparks inevitable response
Last week's spoof video by a Lance Armstrong fan from Texas which used the film Downfall to poke fun at the Fuhrer's attempts to stop Lance winning his eighth Tour de France has sparked a video response on Youtube.
'Brunyeel's Downfall' uses the same footage to make a very different point… and is if anything funnier than last week's effort. Unfortunately it's also waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more libellous too and should probably carry a parental advisory too. In fact it would be no surprise if it was pulled fairly quickly.
This time Astana team boss Brunyeel is Hitler surrounded by his top generals in the bunker for a pre-Tour briefing.
About the only line we can quote without getting into trouble is “It's not looking good Mr Brunyeel”.
All good clean(ish) fun and the sort of thing we can expect a lot more of as things start to heat up for the Tour… mind you, fun though the vids are they still have a way to go to live up to the comedic splendour of Jan Ullrich's MySpace page.
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
Much of your review might as well be writtten about your own review: I give it 6/10, and no, your style doesn't appeal to me.
Nissan Micra seized for parking on same Sheffield pavement twice in six months...
As per other comments, it's all out of sync with model years isn't it at the moment. Some bikes are still full price but still lots are discounted...
I rarely think about Trump and until this reply, haven't mentioned him. Are you sure you're not confused by reality again?...
Highway Code Rule 59 is unusual...
JRA Monitors are 25mm deep - how's that 'deep section'?
not least because it's a special edition - chromed mirrors and black wheels. There can only be a few hundred of those at most.
I'm not sure you fully understand ALARP. It's not about the cheapest method. It's about reducing risk as far as possible, until you get to a point...
She could buy a bike manufacturer and have the firm build her a series of different bikes to suit her mood.
Wot no Furry of the Mountain?
