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?
