Germany's echonomy and stuff is going pretty bad - right? Always nice to blame "the others". It stinks in my opinion, but it works. The easyest way to unite a people is to have a common enemy to blaim for all bad.

well, I don't really understand dutch, but it seems that the flash animation originally was intended (in a most sarcastic way) to adress those who still refuse to confess what happened in Germany (and elsewhere) during 3rd Reich...

out of context it's completely disgusting, of course :eek:

the Corean bar owner obviously didn't care enough about his exotic theme... or did he exactly calculate the effectiveness of internet publicity ? :wink:

cheers, Tom

'geen stijl' translated means 'no style'.
we say it when something is a shame :smile:

the image of 10.000 empty headed ravers celebrating live 5 days a week isn't so badly choosen.
I bet you would easily get them together there with exactly those slogans, and they would say ' hey man, really cool spot here'.
Saw 'Inferno' as party name on street posters, the start is already there...

edit: ah...housewitz/auschwitz, I overlooked that.

yeah and "tanzen macht frei " - instead of "arbeit macht frei" - was a common slogan by the nazis and stood above nearly every kz.

You quickly come to the point that a lot of people are either thinking: Hey sorry folks, that you lost the second world war or just are dissapointed not to have invented the nationalsocialism before germans did.

Simply unbelievable.
