Notes from Germany

I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at nate(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

We Love Deutschland!

There is a food company here called Wagner and they have their own line of frozen pizza called "The American Way". Actually having tried it myself, it is not bad. It isn't good enough to make me feel all misty-eyed and long for American pizza though. There is a commercial for it on TV that cracks me up every time I see it. They have a "typical" American family at dinner eating the pizza and fulfilling all the superficial stereotypes that you see on American TV shows.

Dad: "I love you Sweetie."
Daughter: "I love you Dad."
Son: "I love you too Dad."
Dad: "And I love you too Champ!"

And it just gets better from there. Click here and watch for yourself. Click under "Big Pizza".

Far-Right German Party Belittles Holocaust

Far-Right German Party Belittles Holocaust: "A week before Europe hosts a series of memorial services in honor of the freeing of Auschwitz, a group of far-right German politicians caused a stir by walking out on a state ceremony for Nazi victims."

This seems to have pissed a lot of people off. M., who is usually very sweet, said, "I wish I could kick them all in the nuts." She also says this about George W. Bush.
