Guest Boo_Bradley Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Man Faces 3 Yrs For Teaching Dog WWII Salute Ananova 10-14-3 BERLIN -- A German man is to appear in court charged with teaching his dog to give the Hitler salute. The black sheepdog-mix, named Adolf, has been taught to lift his right front paw up straight in the salute on command. Police were called to the scene in Berlin when Roland T, 54, shouted at passers-by last year. When a patrol arrived, he allegedly showed them the trick he had taught his dog, gave the salute along with Adolf, and shouted: "Sieg Heil." Now he has been charged with using symbols of unconstitutional organisations. If found guilty, he faces up to three years in prison. Adolf will probably be brought to a pet shelter, the Berliner Kurier reports. Carola Ruff, of the local animal protection organisation, says the dog shouldn't be judged for what its owner taught it. "It makes me sick to think someone's using his dog as an instrument of his deranged brain," she told the paper. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_82861...latestheadlines Comment Marilyn Perkins 10-14-3 My God, Jeff. Didn't WWII end almost 60 years ago? When is Germany going to stop such imbecilic self-abuse? This would be laughable if not so mind-bogglingly stupid. Comment From Jim Mortellaro 10-15-3 Having traveled widely in Germany, I can tell you that the German people and government are _to this day_ extremely sensitive to the NAZI extremism. Yes, even after all these years. During my frequent business trips to Bavaria, my representative there cautioned me not to make some of the jokes I was want to make. Some used the word, "Panzer" and "Blitzkrieg" as well as other words. Jokes told in standup comedy here would be reason for being thrown in the slammer there. The NAZI regime left a huge scar on that country. One which will not easily go away. Nor quickly. One generation teaches the next to an extent which we would consider unusual. Not there. They are deadly serious about this issue. Little Adolph will _not_ act like uncle Addy. Wouldn't surprise me if the little doggie will have difficulty finding a new home whilst poppa's in incarcerated. Sig heel! Jim Mortellaro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Folks, realize that making jokes about things like the Holocaust aren't going to strike everyone as funny, even if you get a few good chuckles out of it. In fact, it's pretty likely to be rather unfunny to some people. This thread is closed, and I'd appreciate not seeing trifling garbage like it in CE in the future.
