I particulary love the part of the youtube info that says:

I alwys thought WW II began in September 1939. But that was Europe. The 
World was plunged into war in December 1941. Cute.
Reminds me of another ethnocentric joke, a headline from a British 
newspaper: "Fog over the Channel -  Europe isolated".
