I was over at msnbc earlier, checking scores and what-not, and happened to see their weekly "whiner of the week" piece. A runner up was the principal of a high school in North Carolina who's soccer team, well, apparently isn't very good at history.
Seems they were looking for a team slogan, and decided upon "onward to victory", which seems like a prety good slogan for a sports team.
Problem is, apparently English wasn't quite good enough so, seeing as they had a German exchange student on the team, they decided to translate it into German. Still, this is fine.
However, where they went wrong was, someone got the bright idea to find a sound clip of the German phrase online, and have it played over a loudspeaker before the game. Still fine, except they kinda went with part of a speech by the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
Oops.
I'm thinking maybe babblefish or a history book might've helped out there.

These people probably think that Goebbels is the turkey from "South Park".

I don't think my Kennedy voice (which, I'm told, is excellent) would come through in text... However, if Zombie F. Kennedy and Ed Hunter were to team up against Dickinson's fencing skills...well, Bruce might have a bit of a time defeating them...until Eddie remembers that he's Bruce's friend, and turns on Zombie F. Kennedy.

I've got the snipes ready to go...but now, since you've chosen to ignore an offer for truce, I'm calling in the jackalopes. Jackalopes fed on vegemite and dead drop bears, that is....

(I'll be straight with you boys...no one in their right mind would expect a kid from a 1500 person Wyoming town in the United States to have his mind blown by Brave New World...and yet, for nearly a year, that was what I used to listen to every night going to sleep...so BELEE DAT, PLAYA!) EDIT: And it turns out that I've definitely branched off from there...

EDIT: And it turns out that I've definitely branched off from there... Brave New World was the greatest thing since Number, Dance of Death was also awesome... hell A Matter of Life and Death (which I'll be reviewing in 2 days... cheap plug I know) is probably better still. I would argue this point but that prompts me to ask you this question... Are you a man of peace? or a man of holy war?
