YouTube Video Sends Guatemala Into Crisis
Several have sent word that a YouTube video of recently assassinated lawyer Rodrigo Rosenberg has sent Guatemala into a tailspin. The video of Rosenberg claims that if you are watching, he has been murdered by President Alvaro Colom with help from presidential secretary Gustavo Alejos. "The video spread across the Internet after family members handed it out during Rosenberg's funeral on Monday. In the 18-minute tape, a seemingly calm Rosenberg, sitting behind a desk and microphone, alleges that Colom, the First Lady and two associates were involved in murder, corruption and money laundering. The group, he says, filtered public funds through a state-owned bank for personal gain and to finance drug traffickers. Rosenberg then claims that after Khalil Musa, a prominent businessman and bank board member, had learned of the Coloms' scheme, Musa and his daughter were shot to death in front of a shopping center in April. Rosenberg says the President signed off on the killings."

If that pun was intentional, you get the prize for making it look unintentional....
You should start by linking to something, anything...
Goatse, for example; with a buildup like that you're bound to get a couple of hits. Too good to waste.
If it helps, I'm sure this video is a copyright violation, unless the widow released the original tape under CC license or something...
"Dad! There is a video on YouTube of you saying Mom killed you!"
"Damn, I knew I forgot something this week."
