I actually just watched that tonight. It was very pro-Nazi. That cartoon had me heiling Hitler and hating Jews throughout.

It was well-done, but I was amazed by how clear the animation was mostly. But no, that's not it. I don't think you can get the original "HITLER IS BLOODY AWESOME" cartoons anywhere; I read Disney keeps them preserved and under lock and key in Walt's Vault.

Right next to his training videos for Kim the Elder.

My eyes. Did Goering armpit-fart the sound effects for that cartoon while on the potty? Popeye sounded like a bullfrog having intimate relations with a Viking.

From our perspective that's like saying "I can't imagine the city without gun-wielding gangbangers, I mean where's the fun in that?"

Except in Britain's case, it sounds like boars only exist in two small limited areas. Only 500 boars in all of Britain? I think there's that many in any given county in any southern US state!

Looking into it real quick, it seems in America the range is basically just in the southeast US. It's still weird that the British don't have any. I can't imagine not having any large predators in the wilderness.

LOL! ^_^ Believe it or not, there are MANY people who say that about New York.

"They got rid of all the hookers, hobos, and gangbangers? They ruined it! Now it's no different than visiting Disney World!"

THAT's the sort of memories you want to bring back from a trip.

After that, I had to listen to this.


Still gives me a chill, almost twelve years after first hearing it.

It was a mistake. They meant to include kilts.

The whole deal with Miersheid itself is pretty bizarre. One of the most serious political jokes ever done.

There was a politician named Leif Ericson during the 1940s. Apparently he was not a time travelling viking.
