The first, and maybe the best, of the mockumentaries., 7 June 2003
Author: bolobill from Laurium Michigan

Simply the best of all of the mockumentaries. Candy and Levy at their best. Makes one want to take up the gelkies (with a little Russian dancing on the side), have some cabbage rolls and coffee (mmm, mmm, good!), and try and forget the Plattsburgh incident. See it, if you can find it.
