After the Cardinals’ heartbreaking loss in the Super Bowl on Sunday evening (not to mention the fact that the global economy is going down the toilet), the world needs some humor.

I love Monty Python’s response to the fact that their material has been ripped off and posted on YouTube for years:

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It’s time for us to take matters into our own hands.

We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we’ve figured a better way to get our own back: We’ve launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube.

No more of those crap quality videos you’ve been posting. We’re giving you the real thing – HQ videos delivered straight from our vault.

What’s more, we’re taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what’s even more, we’re letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there!

But we want something in return.

None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.

Go to http://youtube.com/user/MontyPython and click on the links. Buy their movies and TV Shows. (I, myself, have the complete collection).

. . . but before you do that, sit back and enjoy my favorite Monty Python sketch (presented in two parts):
