No. 6: Vice President Dick Cheney, in the wake of his much-publicized hunting accident, brutally murders the Easter Bunny at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
What? You say this didn't actually happen? Nonsense. The witnesses to Cheney's February hunting accident may not have been videotaping when he mistakenly shot lawyer Harry Whittington, but the YouTube gods don't care. When something doesn't wind up on camera, after all, a little Photoshop or Final Cut expertise can change things.
Video-sharing sites soon exploded with parodies that ranged from a spoof of a similar hunting-accident scene in the movie Wedding Crashers to a song-and-dance number set to the tune of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." Other Internet video creations suggested that Cheney's shooting of Whittington might not have been an isolated incident; this one, for example, spliced real news coverage of the annual White House Easter Egg Roll with staged footage of an actor dressed up as Cheney shooting the Easter Bunny.
