LOL, hadn't seen that!

From a link on it's wiki link:

The Old Negro Space Program, a 10-minute film, humorously chronicles fictional African-American astronauts who overcame NASA's color barrier, telling their story in the earnest style of Ken Burns' PBS documentaries like Baseball. Primarily distributed online, the film has garnered all the tokens of internet success, including its own entry in the Wikipedia and an online shop to sell its souvenir t-shirts and mugs. Its detractors accuse the film of making racism appear equally fictitious, perhaps unintentionally, and of perpetuating black stereotypes.
