- MogusMaximus, on 01/03/2008, -18/+172German Tour Guide: You vill find more on Germany's contributions to ze arts in ze pamphlets ve have provided.
Brian : Yeah, about your pamphlet... uh, I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945. There's just a big gap.
Tour guide: Everyone vas on vacation. On your left is Munich's first city hall, erected in 15...
Brian : Wait, what are you talking about? Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and...
Tour Guide: We were invited. Punch vas served. Check vit Poland.
Brian : You can't just ignore those years. Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany.
Tour guide: Nope, nope. He left to manage a Dairy Queen.
Brian : A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous.
Tour guide: I vill hear no more insinuations about the German people. Nothing bad happened. Sie werden sich hinsetzen. Sie werden ruhig sein. Sie werden nicht beleidigen Deutschland. You will sit down. You will shut up. You will not insult Germany. (Throws his hand up in a Hitler salute.)
Brian : Uh, is that a beer hall?
Tour guide: (Snapping out of it) Oh yes, Munich is renowned for its historic beer halls. - GreenGrassyNoel, on 01/03/2008, -4/+114Didn't BMW make airplanes for Hitler?
- AmbroseKali, on 01/03/2008, -12/+89Great, well researched funny, funny article.
- fhernand, on 01/03/2008, -2/+63dugg for comment about herbie sporting a hitler mustache
- Muncher, on 01/03/2008, -4/+64Yeah, I mean, if the government starts sending you slaves, and places an order for gas chambers and poisonous gas, no one can judge you for making a profit off it.
- Chirp08, on 01/03/2008, -3/+59That would explain the RROD genocide..
- ncapone, on 01/03/2008, -1/+52"Popular Brands"
- theghoul, on 01/03/2008, -2/+52What the ***** Siemens? Dont you make chips for my Xbox 360?
- theutopian, on 01/03/2008, -0/+46But you can't hold that against him. EVERY kid had to be in the Nazi youth. That's the point of a totalitarian regime, absolute control and obedience. Besides I love the order ikea furniture brings my apartment.
- gnick, on 01/03/2008, -0/+45entirely.
- airwalkery2k, on 01/03/2008, -0/+42The kittens kept me on an emotional roller coaster ride. I think it went something like "Oh my... that's horrible" followed by "Aww, how adorable."
- doommachine, on 01/03/2008, -5/+46Hehe. Siemens.
- AgentWorm, on 01/03/2008, -2/+43Yeah, they made the engines for their airplanes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motors_of_WW2 ... - inactive, on 01/03/2008, -0/+40read it again, but this time imagine a German accent.
- gnick, on 01/03/2008, -1/+41agree
- gnick, on 01/03/2008, -2/+41I
- signal15, on 01/03/2008, -1/+39Nazi's were bastards, but I have to say that I've always liked those leather trench coats they wore.
- Fission, on 01/03/2008, -1/+39Aww, guess I'm not a douchebag =(
- detree, on 01/03/2008, -6/+41German people are awesome.
- Grimdotdotdot, on 01/03/2008, -3/+36No Fanta?
- petecampbell, on 01/03/2008, -5/+375 items over 3 pages?
This is happening way to much lately, I feel like I should go split every piece of content on my site in half. - Factionrider, on 01/03/2008, -3/+33So was the pope.
- slymi2005, on 01/03/2008, -4/+31I like that it mentioned how we don't consider GE a military contractor because it does so many other stuff.
- givinupthefight, on 01/03/2008, -8/+35Not gonna lie, when Volkswagen was listed my mind immediately went to the "how do you fit 20 Jews in a Volkswagen" joke.
I don't blame anyone who diggs me down for that one. - floridiot2, on 01/03/2008, -2/+28Actually, it's not. It's taken from the Bavarian flag. :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_BMW_Trademark - SimonGray, on 01/03/2008, -4/+30I always liked the design of the Nazi uniforms. I wonder if they only did the SS ones or if they also did the grey infantry coat?
- Crosshare, on 01/03/2008, -2/+28Agreed, we have a family friend who was raised in Hitler's youth, it wasn't really a choice. He later went on to immigrate to American and served in our Army for decades. It's not like these people had a choice in these things.
- hollowex, on 01/03/2008, -1/+23I have to imagine that it would be hard to say no to a regime that is killing people on an industrial scale.
- Amazetbm, on 01/03/2008, -0/+21Yeah, they made aircraft engines...which was their core business before the 1930's. Unfortunately they also used forced labor for a time.
- MogusMaximus, on 01/03/2008, -3/+24Yes
- Jeffler, on 01/03/2008, -4/+24OMG UR SO CLEVAR PUTTING IN A $ INSTEAD OF AN S!!!!!!! I'VE NEVER SEEN DAT B4!!!!!!
*facepalm* - kupa, on 01/03/2008, -4/+24Not to bash Family Guy, since I love it as much as the next person, but must we post this exact same passage in every single article remotely linked to germany, hitler, or nazism? Seriously. Hell, at least link to a youtube clip or something.
- YouandWhoseArmy, on 01/03/2008, -1/+20Wow Cracked I take back everything bad (ok most things) I've said about you as this article was interesting and included cats (sans LOL though :( )
- jrizzo, on 01/03/2008, -3/+21"For instance, Prisoner Code 8 was Jew, Code 11 was Gypsy. Camp Code 001 was Auschwitz; Code 002 was Buchenwald. Status Code 5 was execution by order, and Code 6 was gas chamber."
So...someone at IBM coded "Jew, Auschwitz, execution by order" into a punchcard system and thought it was for a parade? - sovereign3, on 01/03/2008, -0/+17Siemens is one of Germany's largest companies. They produce machinery and equipment for customers all over the globe. I bet most of the machines you are using today have parts manufactured by Siemens AG.
- ncc74656m, on 01/03/2008, -1/+17Wow. You must've had a bowl of stupid for breakfast today.
Did you even read the article? The Siemens bit alone is remarkably damning. - masscrazy, on 01/03/2008, -5/+21Coca Cola supported the Nazis's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5JXmDApzp4 - MEGAMERICAN, on 01/03/2008, -1/+16Everyone should read Anthony C. Sutton's book Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler. Learn who in the United States funded Hitler's rise.
- leerayIG88, on 01/03/2008, -7/+21"I know nothing! I see nothing! NOTHING!"
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0052308/bio - inactive, on 01/03/2008, -2/+16The article never implied that any of the mentioned companies be shut down, it just informed us of their involvement in genocide. And we have moved on, because all of these companies are extremely profitable to this day. I would rather know something than not know it, but you just keep your head buried in the sand and remain ignorant.
- mactaggart, on 01/03/2008, -2/+16Any chance that someone calling themselves"JettaMan" might be into VW a little bit?
- DeFex, on 01/03/2008, -1/+15random pictures of cats punctuating article about nazis?
- hollowex, on 01/03/2008, -3/+17The sarcasm you cook up is deliciously sweet
- JettaMan, on 01/03/2008, -10/+23So now any German business that was around during WWII is verbotten? There's not one business anywhere that turns down their government when they are asked to build ***** for them.
- xerexes1, on 01/03/2008, -1/+13From Wikipedia: The company which became IBM was founded in 1888 as the Tabulating Machine Company by Herman Hollerith, in Broome County, New York. It was incorporated as Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR) on June 16, 1911, and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1916. IBM adopted its current name in 1924, when it became a Fortune 500 company.
