I'll just add to this that I live in Taiwan and the Untergang videos have
come here too - subtitled in Chinese - poking fun at our local politicians.
My wife (who is Taiwanese) has fallen out of her chair laughing at them.

I've never been the target of an Untergang parody, but if I was, I'd just
laugh at it rather than get offended. The ability to laugh at yourself is a
good thing, in my opinion.

cheers,
