The fact he doesn't know what "German" means even after reading the card is just...well idiotic.

Ever heard of WW2? The Holocaust? I mean seriously....gimme me a break. I might forgive him if it was like "Botswanian" or something but c'mon.

I like how that's the first thing you think of when you hear the word Germany.

Try and convince me that is not what they are most known for. It's like saying Belgium isn't best known for its chocolate.

It's just that out of all the things you could have chosen

BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen, Morphine, The Zeppelin, Much of the reasearch that resulted in MP3's, Geiger counter, Bratwurst , Beer.

You had to choose the holocaust.

"Don't mention the war! I said it once but don't worry I think I got away with it"

Just remember the sage scriptures of Fawlty Towers and learn from the farce. That we shouldn't let the war turn us crazy. If you can't take a step back and see the funny side then life isn't worth living.

Also I can't help but lol at the idea that "Much of the research that resulted in MP3's" could be cited as a good reason Justin Beiber would know about the nationality/language German:

Host: "you know, uh World War 2. The main opposition country to UK, USA and USSR"
Bieber: "uuuhh.. huh?"
Host: "home to car manufacturers Volkswagen, BMW and Porsche"
Bieber: "hhmmm, nah, I still have no idea what you're talking about"
Host: "Oktoberfest? Zeppeleins? Kaiser Wilhelm?"
Bieber: "ppfth... no clue"
Host: "Country located in between France and Poland?"
Bieber: "gee... I don't know"

...

Host: "... oh kay.. origin of some of the research that went into developing the MP3 codec"
Bieber: "Oh THAT Germany! Yeah, German, 'sprokens de Deutsch' yeah, of course, why didn't you say so? What was with all the impossible clues before"

Ok the mp3 was a bit silly, i was just suggesting a few alternatives and i kinda ran out of ideas.

Well done on working fawlty towers into this as well.

anyway i concede the point to you, Germany now and for the foreseeable future shall be known for nazism.

Look at it this way, just be glad for the good of humanity that it is not dozens of countries all over the world infamous for Nazism.

I think the lesson to be learned from Germany in World War 2 is that Germany is not an evil country, the German people are not a bad people, they are like any other country and I've heard again and again accounts from Allied veterans of that war how surprised they were at how normal and warm hearted the German people were. It was completely at odds with the war machine that Hitler had created and the crimes it committed.

The lesson from history is ANY COUNTRY can be corrupted by hateful ideology. All it takes is some hard times and a person like Hitler to come along to start selling lies and making empty promises. Hitler was a cult, trust in him, gamble everything and submit everything to him on the promise to deliver Germany to greatness. Seductive lies.

I think George Orwell was trying to make this point as well. Germany should learn from and evangelise this warning from history, that countries should not think "it could never happen here, we're not the same as Germany" because they may learn in the worst possible way how wrong they are.

It should be noted that the Americans throughout World War 2 emphasised they were at war with Nazism rather than Germany as a nation. Maybe that was because there were still many proud German Americans... maybe that was what the nation really felt.

 

[Shadowfaze]

As usual, America spews out another idiotic popstrel, who makes a fool of himself on TV, Proving that you only need the IQ of a small child to be sucessful.

 

[Artina89]

who the hell is this justin bieber guy? Ive seen a couple threads about his ass lately but nothing that actual says why anyone should know his name

Yeah, same here. I have seen a lot of his posters in HMV and stuff but what does he do exactly?

 

[dex-dex]

Bracing for all the trolls saying Americans dont know what 'German' means....

Rest easy. He's Canadian.

that is still no excuse
he is from a butt-fuck town in ontario (i only know this because that is what much would say he is from stradford and whatever)

i suggest we go kill him

He's 16. Technically speaking, he is still small child.

 

[EHKOS]

This doesn't surprise me anymore...I think my faith in society died...*sniff* whew, yep.

 

[Super Toast]

If he feels embarrassed, maybe he should stab the interviewer.

(I've been linking to Cracked a lot lately. Hmm...)

 

[recharge330]

Is it really that big of a deal. The accent threw him off and then when he saw the card he read it as something like "bieber is crazy for basketball" with crazy replaced with German so it didn't make sense to him.

 

[imaloony]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, fail.

Yeah, just for clarifications, we do say German in America. If for no other reason than to state the name of the country we helped beat in World War 2 and dance around about that for a while.

Why thank you for that condescending speech. You sure taught me a thing or two about humanity.

 

[Curious Georgie]

Apparently he thought the interviewer was saying "Jew man."

He backed this up by linking a video on Twitter of an earlier interview in which he counted in German and translated his name.

[sub]Yes, I know that is a little more research than I should have done as a non-fan. However, I don't like to be wrong so I fact check whenever something I say has been called in to question, which it was in this case earlier on.[/sub]

Oh and he totally didn't just learn those German numbers and the translation of his name because his press agents told him too? Good job on letting them fool you like you're just another part of the masses instead of an Escapist.

 

[Julianking93]

I saw that a while ago.

I didn't know whether to rage or just laugh.

I did both.

 

[Retardinator]

But what do fellow Escapists think? Stupidity? Or an excusable mistake?

Neither. It's the failing introvert American education system.
It's always their geography, their history and their egocentrism.

I wasn't trying to be condescending, and I have no idea if you are being sarcastic on that last part or not. I was speaking not just to you but to the whole forum about how everyone seems to look at Germany and the Holocaust in completely the wrong way and was trying to not roll out the same old "Germany done bad, we're number 1" bullshit that I hear all the time.
