Heh.

I agree, the speech bubble stuff, uhh, SUCKS.  Its much more creative and
entertaining when effort is put into integrating 'All Your Base' into something.
One of the funniest ones I've seen I actually printed out and have on my wall,
its a British WWII poster of a couple women and a child, with men marching off
in uniform in the background.  It says, "Women of Britain Say - "ZIG!" because
Hitler says: "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" - it looks like it was the
original too.  Really well done.

More creative stuff is on the video site,
