File this one under... unique. As we've noted before, Israeli satellite provider YES is rolling out its HDTV offerings. Of course, there's got to be a advertising campaign to go along with the effort. The ad they're running with is hilarious -- picture 100 Hasidic Jews dancing through city streets. Now picture the hijinks are choreographed and set to the Village People's "YMCA." Of course, it's in EDIT: Got the language straight. Thanks, Avi!

It's in Hebrew. Not Yiddish.

The video was withdrawn after religious asked Yes to do so as they felt the ad was inappropriate and hurting their feelings. This what is called free media...

As a Hassidic Jew, I found this video to be thoroughly entertaining and amusing. I have translated the words as they are a combination of Hebrew, Yiddish and even some English. Enjoy and know that it is still runnning on Israeli television and radio.
Be warned holy land
of the high definition
Go out and erase this "toeivah" (abomination)
Oy Vey, the "toeivah" is here
He said Oy Vey
now the detail's so clear
YES brought HD
Groise Tate (Father in heaven) please help
It's a "broch" this HD on YES
Gevald it's Sedom and Gemorah
HDTV it's against the torah
HDTV oy voi voi voi
Now the shikses look well
you will all go to hell
Or in Hebrew Yishmor HoKel (g-d save us)
Cause the HD is now on YES

Stupid uncultured me...I thought YES was the Yankees Entertainment and Sports network!! I was wondering what happened to the Yankee channel logo! lol
Good news for the folks in Israel then I guess.
