Although I appreciate the great humor often caused by these misunderstandings caused by poor pronunciation, I personally stay away from using humorous videos due to student sensitivities. Still, thank you for sharing that site.

English literature can be extremely daunting for many and Shmoop has some excellent literature study guides translated to <a href="http://www.shmoop.com/literatura/guias-de-estudio/" rel="nofollow">Spanish Literatura</a> that come in very useful. The site approaches all the famous novels, plays and poems with simple language and easy to understand explanations of themes, techniques used, and characters. It also provides teachers of English literature with teaching tools and students help with essay writing and guidance in fleshing out their ideas. Worth a look at I think.
