During my travels on the Web, I passed by a few chances to watch this. I'm glad I finally did.

Aside from it being funny, it's also a way of covering this story that wouldn't have been done on TV and couldn't have run in print or on radio. Truly Web only, the spoof is picking up a lot of plays on YouTube. More than 100,000 views so far.

On a side note, the video directly from the Times is much clearer, but you can't embed it. So, YouTube was the only option. The Times posts these to YouTube themselves, so I'm guessing they don't mind.
