So mild humour is seen by some to be offensive and childish, but leering at girls like a hormonal teenager is perfectly acceptable

even i'm down with that....

The Germans use pictures of blokes in kilts to advertise things they think are a real bargain. The "Scottish Price" or something they call it.

A few of my more pathetic countrymen have complained about stereotyping, but it doesn't bother me in the least. Harmless fun, same as those beer ads. All stereotypes have an fair old element of truth about them anyway, that's why they are stereotypes.

Did anyone happen to see [URL= http://www.five.tv/programmes/documentaries/paul-merton-in-europe/57175 ]episode 1 of "Paul Merton in Europe"[/URL] where he was in Berlin and he met members of [URL= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Deutscher_Äpfel ]The Apple Front (Front Deutscher Äpfel)[/URL]?

Germans laughing at themselves, their own past and more importantly taking the piss out of the current backwards thinking modern Nazis.

Their leader, Alf, said that he believed comedy was crucial in defeating the extreme far-right because nothing upset them more than being laughed at. And besides he liked dressing as the Führer because [I]“Every German has a little Adolf inside"[/I]

Is he also guilty of racism and stereotyping Germans? Because personally I thought he was doing a great job.

For example, on looking at a map, someone almost has to say "We are here, the Germans will be here, here and here".

Trail centres are perfect for this! they even provide a nice, all weather map at just the right height.
