You don`t understand German humor?

TITANIC readers introduce themselves

Today: The Daily Mail and their readers don't understand the German humour. No wonder, they're British!

Dear british readers: You can subscribe to TITANIC here! We assure you, not one cent will go into the McCann's house mortgages!

Err..... Excuse me.a small girl is missing, possibly dead.And all a jourmalist can do is make a " Joke " .And what's even worse is you go along with and try and justify it .If a German girl went missing, and they probably do every day.Did any German "journalist" ever make any similar jokes about Natasha Kampusch's disapperance, Maybe you'd like to enlighten me on the subject.I don't think they put anything up in the Sun Newpaper, and even that wouldn't suprise me.No, really I do respect you're opinion, if you'll just tell me why it's funny .

You probably dindn`t see what they made from Natascha Kampusch.
Some satiric online magazine even didn´t survive her lawyers.

that probably has something to do with the fact, that germans could laugh about things where no british man would laugh about. That means it is not necessary for us to have one or a dozen murdred people or a pound of rotten flesh in a joke.

Is an oxymoron like er.. police intelligence?

Any more

My 2 cents worth - Germans have a great sense of humour but this one overstepped the mark.
We used to have a British "comedian" named Bernard Manning who was so politically incorrect he could have been arrested for the things he said if he said them off stage.
Funny how he always played to packed houses though isn't it?

Probabaly it overstepped your mark and not the british. If you think it is a good practice to get all independent thinkers in jail, you are probably some sort of communist rather than a tory (which is not very usual in britain those days). Are you a reader of the sun?

Then you will miss the poit of the campagne.

if some media would be really so much disgusted by titanic´s satire, as they pretend to be, they wouldn´t quote the jokes of the fake-advertisement.

Or is that just for making extra money?
