The new sincerity gives way to the new mockery. I'm tired of people telling me you shouldn't make fun of something because it's easy -- it's fun, too. And you should know that by now anyway -- South Park is currently in its 10th season, and did you hear they're planning a sequel to White Chicks?

Anyways, the Du bist Deutschland campaign was paid a lot of money to make watered-down public service announcements. It got made fun of, and the agency that made them pissed off a lot of people, but in the end, it was just a little embarrassing. Comedy like this is the final nail in the coffin. Look now upon the true id of Deutschland!
