id vid: Volume II, All Your Base

Man, I love doing this... finding stupid videos. I enjoy my research very much. I find it very rewarding. That said, it's important to remember the good times, when being stupid was all you had to do. I'm talking about college. The good old days when you made bad movies in video editing class and you would get accolaides from your classmates on just how stupid they be. One such video I found playing around on YouTube.
Does the phrase, "All your base are belong to us," mean anything to you? It should, for the better part of my college years that phrase invaded almost every conversation I had with a videogeek friend of mine. So just today, I was poking around looking for videos, and for some reason that popped into my head. I was again transported to the first time I saw it, on a computer at school, my friends huddled around. I had never laughed so hard in my life. I have since discovered other places for such examples of bad translations, like Engrish.com, the best place for bad English. But on the Tube, I found this video of how much "AYBABTU", as they called it, had inundated out culture. It was on the local news here in Chicago about five years ago. That's right, the news. Weird and funny, to say the least. You must watch this. Mmm... zig!


Sounds like something he'd say...
