Guten Tag from Die Mutterland

"the greatest lesson that we should learn from that part of history" certainly does not include legitimizing the Nazi movement by displaying Nazi symbols such as swastikas even in jest.

You're right. Hogan's Hero's sure legitimizes naziism. I know when I watch Col. Klink I want to run and find the nearest neo-nazi.

On a side note, I'd like to call on all schools with Viking mascots to change their mascot - their 400 years of terror, rape, and plunder across all of Europe is clearly evil and we must not legitimize them in this way.

I read once where Werner Klemperer, who played Klink, was actually Jewish.

from Wikipedia:
His father being Jewish, Klemperer fled the Nazis with his family in 1935; they made their way to Los Angeles, where his father had a conducting post. Klemperer began acting in high school and enrolled in acting courses in Pasadena before joining the United States Army to fight in World War II.

While stationed in Hawaii, he joined the Army's Special Services unit, spending the next years touring the Pacific entertaining the troops. At the end of the war, he worked on Broadway before moving into television.

Bob Crane liked to film himself fuck-ing. Then he got dead.

I wonder if Johann had anything to do with it?

There is a website dedicated to cats that look like Hitler.

Thus proving that cats are evil.

Oscar is not evil. He is for good. Johann, however...

The "cats who look like Hitler" webpage is awesome.

That said, the first page of this thread is irredeemable, even tho the pic was cute and clearly took work. Therefore, women's golf! Bush Library!

You simply do not get it. Unfortunate as well as sad.

He is clearly making fun of the alleged but now refuted censorship of materials referring to Gluestick and Ole bag of bones and Peruna. Yes, its in bad taste. Now wouldn't you like just one wafter thin mint?

this is getting tiresome. He has used Nazi symbols in the past and wants/plans to continue to use them as a crutch for his opinions. More than just bad taste. But why continue arguing with people who have no clue.

The originator of this thread has exactly one post?
