Done, and done.

He certainly didn't make this funny

i wish more went off. it would make it 10x better, but still really funny

Not funny.

Benny Hill might make topics that are ALOT less tragic than landmines or the Holocaust funny, maybe 911? even then maybe not funny, even if its less sad.

maybe nordlichreiter is less sensitive to landmines since it seems like he is an american, and America is one of the few countries left which still manufactures landmines; right along with Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, North Korea and India.

Land mines kill 7000 people each year, almost all casualties are civillians and the majority are children; so laugh it up.

Death is funny to me. Because its inevitable.

I know more about weapons of war than I care to.

You think that because I'm American I don't know what happens in countries where land mines are distributed by air, or designed to have chain reaction kill zones?

What a .40 caliber will do to impact on soft tissue? What a mark II frag will do when the spoon pops?

Or what an air bursting artillery shell will do to a squad? Or what a cluster bomb will do to a structure, let alone any living thing inside that house. Ive never seen it first hand, but I venture to say you haven't either.

Ive seen what a careless person in a minivan can do to a husband and his happy wife, laughing just before they get broadsided. Then being their to pick up the pieces.

Don't think that because I am American I am blind to land mines, and I know where half of the mines where manufactured.

That's the point of the video, to be absurd.

I very, very rarely downvote videos but this gets my downvote for a number of reasons.

The video and title mock a legitimate and very serious issue that plagues many of the war-torn regions of the past century, and largely in places marred by poverty. The victims of landmines are most often civilians and most incidences happen long after the conflict is concluded. Their use has been viewed as an attack on population rather then on military.

As much as the song often adds humor to otherwise mundane situations, it does not add humor to tragedy. You can comment on the quality of the video, of the acting or that such an incident in North America is essentially impossible, but in reality there is no more humor to the issue then that of rape, or other heinous crimes.

Adding Yakety Sax to a video of jews being marched into a gas chamber "to make it humourous" would be an insult to anyone who did not survive such horrors and even more so to those who did. It would be like saying that the atrocity is okay. It is not okay.

You can laugh at death, all you like. Hell, I do to sometimes. But this isn't about death. It is about life.

The things we do in life are more important then how we die. Arranging for a ten-year-old child, or anyone else, to have their legs ripped from their body (or worse) is a terrible thing to do to someone else, or the life the want to live.

Benny Hill does not make that funny.

Yakkey Sax != Benny Hill. Not really that funny, either.

mmm the juicy juicy screams.

For all the people who are taking it really seriously... It's a fake!

Does Benny Hill make actual landmines funny? no.... Does it make PSA ad's funny? yes, yes it does.

LOL 5/5 wait for the flamers to call snuff

i didnt say that you were blind to land mines, i said you were less sensitive to them and what they are doing. you are right when you say the video is absurd, but i just cant see anything funny about land mines.

A certain death is inevitable just like the end to a great book, but a death such that a land mine or a car crash provides is like ending a book by having the last half of the pages torn out before you get to read them.

^ Yeah, no one that thinks it's funny does so because of landmines. Duh. It's funny because of the juxtaposition of...

You know what? If you need to have it explained to you, then you're kind of a lost cause.

Yeah... uh... no.
