Found Footage: iPad app delivers humorous look at Swiss history
You have to admire the sense of humor.
The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation launched its iPad app last week with a short video boiling the history of Switzerland down to a tongue-in-cheek story of William Tell, chocolate, a potato field and a Super Mario-like rescue of a princess.
Check out the video following the jump, and if you're interested in the Swiss perspective on news, the swissinfo.ch app is a free download available in English, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
Thanks to all of those who sent in this tip!

The Swiss remind me of the banking class in the Clone Wars cartoon lol I wonder how much 3rd world dictator money is in their vaults earning a good rate of interest, while the poor of those countries go hungry!! I hope they've put that in the app!!
