Du bist Deutschland parody

You are Germany! Du bist Deutschland! I remember reading somewhere that Germany was going to produce some commercials to help lift up the spirits of the German population from the constant high un-employment reminders and general sour mood. Appears that someone took one ad and made a parody out of it.

I found this hilarious when I only understood 5% of it as I'm an easy sucker for making fun of the mentally handicap kids. (Thank goodness for internal dialog, as I wouldn't want others to know that.) Now with the from a reluctant translator, I found this to be pure genius!!! Here's a hit miss translation of the first part.

My whole family is unemployed
Your parents should have used protection

Your single fart can kill a whole kindergarten class a few kilometers away
Don't believe me!

Starting at Grill scene:
And why did you burn my Scheiss Brat?! Du Spast!
And who is always peeing in my swimming pool?!
When nobody is looking
Is it because a foreigner is swimming at the moment?
You have a problem with that?

Kids in Car scene:
We drive around in your car....YO!
And we smuggle People (immigrants)...Poles....Thailanders....and your mother.

My translator ran out of patience with me at this time, as she claims this is silly and she's not going to help with my blog anymore.

Josh submitted his favorite scene starting with the guy with the magazine saying "Why purchase Playboy?"
Scene switches to a couple that say "When you can spy on your neighbors for free?".

I'll try to get a few more lines translated. I'm told a lot of the cuss words are cute within the regional dialects...and that they don't translate well. If you would like to contribute, please leave a comment with your favorite line(s).

Lesser known German inventions

You thought the Japanese inventions were bad? Well, wait till you take a look at these less then brilliant inventions.Why is it that I just know the fly guard will not work when speeds are in excess of 2 mph?
Thanks to Matt Seto for the Link.

Ikea coming to West Chester (Cincinnati)

I really hope that Cincinnatians are prepared for the typical Ikea Midsummer Sale celebrations as shown here in Sweden:

We butcher the Octoberfest so bad, lets hope that we don't do the same with the Swedish midsummer celebration. Soooo looking forward to the smorgasbord.

No need to translate this German satire.

Germans taking World Cup loss in stride

Well, not all the Germans that is. Doof is close to how we call things stupid. Like, Everybody stupid, now you stupid too in a George Thorogood type of way.

Unknown to the general US population, the World Cup moves on

England moves on with the help of a Beckham bender. The TV announcers were just trash talking Beckham all through the game "He shouldn't be the captain, he has contributed nothing","All he has is freekick setup, nothing else", "He's not even running as much as the others, where has he been?", "Yup, he's showing his age". Beckham then proceeds to deliver a brilliant shot for what would be the game winning shot and look at what the announcers have to say... "And that's why you have Beckham in the game!!!!", "No one else does it like Beckham! Just look at that shot!!".

I definitely have the Ghana and Brazil game queued up on my Tivo. Enncien did get his second yellow card against the US, so he might be sitting this game out. Shame.
Just in case you missed it, here's a great commercial shown during the World Cup games.
