Video Wednesday: Germany vs USA – Military, Patriotism

February 11, 2009

While surfing YouTube, I came across walkaboutlanguage’s Germany vs. USA series of videos.  The videos are created by a group of friends from Mississippi, San Francisco and Germany and in each episode they pick a topic and discuss the differences between the US and Germany.  They just reached 2000 subscribers and are donating 5 cents [...]

Video Wednesday: History

January 21, 2009

President Obama’s Inaugural Address in two parts I also encourage you to check out the new kick-ass WhiteHouse.gov website. Yesterday was an amazing day.

Video Wednesday: Stefan Raab playing the uke with Will Smith

August 20, 2008

It’s a little old, but funny nonetheless. Here’s German late-night talk show host Stefan Raab singing and getting movement lessons from Will Smith just after Men in Black came out. I *think* non-German-speakers will be able to enjoy this too. I’ve been having some writer’s block recently, but I’m starting to form some new post [...]

Video Wednesday: So wrong

August 13, 2008

This JCPenney commercial has absolutely nothing to do with Germany, but I found it so wrong on so many levels, that i just had to post it. What are they thinking? How can they turn one of my generations defining movies (The Breakfast Club) into a cheesy commercial? Watch it and tell me what you [...]
