God Bless YouTube, Week 12

Ditka

Before you call this juvenile, just bear with me. I know it's tempting to ignore the beginning of this clip. After all, it's just some dude filming his television with a video camera. Pretty lame.

But I beg of you, listen closely to the guy's accent as he introduces the video. "Dis is Mike Ditka, faahrting," he says, sounding EXACTLY like George Wendt in the classic "Bill Swerski's Superfans" skit from SNL. Also, if you look closely, you can tell it's a Tivo'd ESPN NFL Live broadcast. The current date on the guy's digital cable is July 2, or almost 6 months after the end of the show's season.

All I'm really saying is thanks to YouTube we know there's a guy who lives in Chicago, talks with this accent, and has kept a clip of Mike Ditka's flatulence on his television's hard drive for more than half a year.

Okay, so maybe it's a little juvenile.
