<p>Since it debuted last week, a spoof video for Twitteleh is rising fast, with close to 200,000 views on YouTube.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one of the many parodies of the popular microblogging service, Twitter, which attracts them the way it attracts valuation-mad VCs.</p>
<p>This one urges good sons to tweet answers to classic Jewish mother questions such as: &#8220;What have you eaten?&#8221; and &#8220;Are you wearing a sweater?&#8221;</p>
<p>Here it is:</p>
<p><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uhilbbeUc0g&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uhilbbeUc0g&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></p>
<p>And, here are BoomTown&#8217;s two favorite Twitter-mocking videos so far, one from Slate for <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090406/forget-twitter-google-how-about-acquiring-nanoblogger-flutter-a-very-funny-spoof-from-slate/">Flutter</a> and one from &#8220;The Daily Show,&#8221; with the incomparable Samantha Bee:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there anything comic Sarah Silverman will not say?</p>
<p>Apparently not, from this aggressively pro-Sen. Barack Obama video that has become a huge hit on the Web and seen by many millions of viewers.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <a href="http://www.thegreatschlep.com/site/index.html">&#8220;The Great Schlep,&#8221;</a> which is also a political advocacy organization she supports. </p>
<p>In it, the viciously funny Silverman plans to blame&#8211;I am not kidding&#8211;old Jewish grandparents if Democratic nominee Obama loses the Presidential election. And she advises a very clever kind of blackmail as a way to prevent it.</p>
<p>You have to experience her logic to understand&#8211;and please be aware that Silverman pulls no punches.</p>
<p>And, if Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin goes on &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221;&#8211;as is rumored&#8211;to impersonate Tina Fey, BoomTown will get it right up. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video (and below it, the other huge hit online spoof video Silverman did about her&#8211;um&#8211;<a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080227/dueling-online-videos-a-hit-about-well-just-watch-them/">friendly relationship with actor Matt Damon</a>):</p>
