Guys, just cool down please :) That precice footage has been the
subject of thousands of parodies (just look for "downfall parody" or
"untergang parody" in youtube), from political election failures to
the iPad, from scientific referees to sport events.

I personally don't see anything offensive in a parody, even if the
subject is so unfortunate. I am convinced that most of the problems of
our modern world are due to our deteriorated ability to chill out and
have a good laugh, every now and then... :) I had a good 5 minutes
laugh watching the Devuan parody of untergang, and I would not take
seriously anybody who calls himself offended by it. Are you for real?
:D
