German TV Says Star Trek Terrorists Killed Bin Laden

[teebeeohh]

it should be mentioned that the Program for that news station consist of 5% news that make Fox look like a reliable academic source, 10% documentaries about Hitler and 85% reruns of documentaries about Hitler

 

[TheAmazingHobo]

Oh, yeah, sure, let´s mock them.

ONE news channel decides to do some ACTUAL journalistic work and uncover the REAL story (even though only the person responsible for the background pictures seemed willing to actually get the story out, while the anchor jumped ship) and the MASSES ridicule them for it, just because they are BLINDED by the "official story" perpetrated by the MAINSTREM MEDIA!

Seven of Nein...

Some researcher really didn't do their job here.

"Set your faces to stunned."

This is one of the greatest things I've ever read.

Oh those WHACKY Europeans. What will they mix up next? It only feels like last year that they mistook Pedobear for a Canadian Winter Olympics mascot.

Thanks, that's not offensive or condescending to anyone who isn't German or Polish at all. Also, it's spelled "wacky".

Quick question, just so i can get things cleared up, it is okay when Europeans on this site say things like all U.S citizens are stupid, when some one does some thing stupid that does not represent the country as a whole, we U.S posters are expected to roll with the punches. Give it the old 180 and it is offensive? I will guarantee the second a news post about some U.S citizen doing something dumb is posted it will be flooded by European posters, with Amerikkka is dumb, only in America, you see America this is why we hate you and etc..

This isn't 4chan, slurs are not allowed here. At all.

Wishing death to Americans, and saying this is why everyone hates America though. That's okay.

Actually no. There was a poster who wished someone got raped, and immediately been dealt with.

Actually on this forum saying terrible things about the U.S or U.S posters is fine.

PS. I'm a Limey Canuck. (Hell will freeze over before 'Canuck' is thought to be offensive).

I guess you Canucks and we Yanks are as easily offended, we even have sports teams named after the slang terms.

 

[marscentral]

Am I the only one bothered that the Maquis were actually about resisting the Cardassians, not the Klingons?

 

[gibboss28]

Ha! Silly krauts.

That's an offensive slur and I suggest you refrain from using it in future.

Honestly, I've never figured out why that term is now supposed to be considered offensive or derogatory. German sailors originally used sauerkraut as an effective remedy against scurvy (which is where the term is believed to have come from). The English likewise used sauerkraut, but switched to using limes later on, and hence the term for them became Limeys.

It's historical slang, I just can't find the offence to be taken from it. Likewise you see everyday use of 'Yanks' 'Kiwi' and others that have no fundamental insult attached to it.

In blinding contrast, calling someone of German decent 'Nazi' is extremely offensive and derogatory for obvious reasons.

See the difference?

PS. I'm a Limey Canuck. (Hell will freeze over before 'Canuck' is thought to be offensive).

PPS. Not a fan of Political Correctness; the 'Political' part of the term tells a person almost all they need to know to realise why it's not always a good thing.

Because apparently the off chance of offending someone is the most serious thing in this entire world.

 

[Marik Bentusi]

Ah yes, N24. Thinks it's the elite when really it's Germany's Faux News.

 

[BabyRaptor]

Hey you don't know if this was true, it seems more realistic then a super power hunting a man for ten years and turn up no findings until now.

President Shrub didn't actually look for bin Laden...Infact, he turned down a chance to get him at Tora Bora. He also dismantled the intelligence team looking for him and made several very public statements that he wasn't very concerned about OBL at all.

So, hey. Really, it only took us about 3 years of actually looking.

 

[CommanderKirov]

IT WAS ALL A RUSE MADE BY ROMULANS I TELL YOU!

It's true!

 

[Max_imus]

That is something truly great, there really is no way that this might have slipped the researcher's attention. He must be a true Trekkie.

And even if not, funny thing.
You see, even our news agencies mess up sometimes. But at least they mostly stay neutral and just report the news, instead of taking questionable moral standpoints and conservative drivel and shoving them down our throats.

Fox News got it wrong about eight times. First it was Obama bin Laden, then it was Usama bin Laden. I think it went downhill from their.

The first is an easy typo to make if you're being absent-minded and don't read what you're writing, considering you have two major political figures with extremely similar names. The second isn't an error, because there's no one correct way to romanise the Arabic name أسامة بن لادن, and "Usama" is the romanisation used by the FBI.

Something on the internet was said that you didn't like? :O Excuse me while I continue to be surprised for the rest of the day. More importantly since germany's economic goal is to turn my country into a third world nation I could give a fuck what offends them.

Well, I bet some people are face-palming right about this time (give or take a few time zones)...

This is hilarious though...

Almost EVERY news station got "Osama" wrong.

Because "Osama" is wrong. His real name is "Usama", it was just changed in the west because its first 3 letters spelled "USA".

Wow, really? Seems kinda short sighted... but then again, there was that whole "Freedom Fries" business a few years back... *SIGH*

(The Navy Seals logo -real or otherwise- is pretty badass, though)

 

[Alpha Maeko]

Chakotay to the rescue.

 

[Braedan]

This isn't 4chan, slurs are not allowed here. At all.

Uh... yes they are? Have you looked around? every other thread I look in has some one calling another person "fanboy" "moron" "retard". I'm Canadian and I don't go off crying in a corner when someone calls me a canuck, or America's hat. I laugh because it's funny.

 

[geierkreisen]

I'm German and I don't find kraut offensive, because it...well...it's funny. Way funnier than having idiots making Hitler jokes as soon as there is news about Germany on the Escapist.

N24 is indeed as close as you can get to Fox News and I have a habit of staying as far away as I can from both. Sometimes I might miss something as hilarious as the original news, but I can count on American news shoving it into my face, so why bother?

 

[Rayne870]

The sad thing is we can't prove that is false

 

[dekleer]

Saw it live. Laughed my ass off. And as I can´t really figure out how you guys should know about this: This is the most recommended news station in my oh so beloved home country

(Seriously though, I like it here^^)

Epic moment. I thought I was gone crazy. Which, I guess, everybody would if you´re watching the news and the phrase "Is that a phaser?" pops up in your head...

Stop being such a crybaby.
