Godwin's Law

I have recently learned of Godwin's Law - "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." It certainly can be adapted into any number of variations to apply to discussions today about current events. And it is impressive how often Godwin's Law proves to be true.

This neat video applies Godwin's Law to one of the more absurd things I have read - the Conservapedia.
