The same right as anyone.

But it has nothing to do with Monty Python either, that I can see.
Nor is there a video to see the context of (OP said "For context, start 
the video at 1:00.") Perhaps link is erroneous.

Marking something OT does not excuse it. It should still be related. We 
cannot allow 1000s of OT posts a day, marked OT or not.

Then I humbly suggest you re-watch The Holy Grail.

P.S. - There is certainly a video.  It just takes an obnoxiously long
time to load.

I agree, adding "OT" shouldn't be an excuse to just post anything people want,
should it?

The URL has absolutely nothing to do with python whatsoever. At least not here
as I can view it in The Netherlands.
It's a news item about the 'rebels' in Syria who supposedly shot down this fighterplane.
How someone can link that to Monty Python is worth a oscar for storytelling i think...
