Short shorts are great for separating your scrotum so that you have one testicle hanging down either side of the crotch in full view for everyone to see. I hope you enjoy that mental image and are not too traumatised by it.
Ah yes Sabrina was known all over Europe... following Samantha Fox a bunch of sexy pop girls became semi-famous (pun intended) with more curves than talent but yea just a bit of fun in the 80s.
Fox was trying to be more serious and a "real" pop star, she did pretty well too, but her career started with topless pics and and continued with glamour shots and so on.. so yea...
I was 18 at the time. Went to a 80s show ten years ago with many 80s artists participating and accompanied by a much younger friend. All he cared about was if she would be there. Didn't care about the others. Can't blame him!
What's the sexual situation over there? Is everyone pretty chill about because it isnt treated like some taboo thing? Not crazy religious, right? Is it rapey like Merica?
Reminds me of this weird visit to a single young lady in her early 20s and at her PEAK feminine and super fit body doing hot ballet style contemporary dance in really tight all white clothing leaving almost nothing to imagination. I truly forgot why our physics teacher booked this show. But damn I don't I've seen anything like that beauty up close since.
When I was young my brother was an exchange student in Germany. His first letter home was all about how David Hasselhoff was a huge singer over there. We couldn't believe it so he sent us a postcard with the Hoff on it. It was crazy. Our Knight Rider star? A European sensation? Apparently the girl at the house he stayed at had a huge poster of him and everything.
"Die Spielbude" was a music show for young people. Not for young kids. Furthermore, Germans are not as prudish and are more enlightened than Americans.
I know, I make fun of it regularly too. There are breasts, penises, sex, nasty swear words here, basically everything for adults, and it doesn't hurt anyone. That's just life. On the other hand, not everyone can get weapons, and you can drink beer from age 16, but unfortunately, this place is extremely overpopulated.
Doesn’t answer my question. Everyone is saying that Germany learned and grew as a people - that literally means that the genocide was on their path to self betterment
In other words, Germans are better people today vecause of it
Oh I see. It was a meant as a sincere query? Well the sample size is just the one country that has committed a holocaust and then became enlightened so there isn't a lot of data to back up that idea. Meanwhile, many countries have committed genocide to one degree or another and I'm not aware of any others having the same enlightenment as Germany post WW2. I think we can't ignore Germany's example but it in no way teaches us that genocide is a necessary step for enlightenment
Of course! Couldn’t have been meant as a rhetorical question meant to point out that Germany is a flawed society built on a foundation of genocide
But I think you are forgetting that Japan also committed genocidal atrocities and crimes against humanity during that war, and they are now an advanced enlightened society
Mao disappeared about 10 times more people than Hitler, and look how well china is doing
Not talking about something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Still, impressive that they went from shipping trainloads of corpses around to enlightened in under 80 years
As a German... have you heard of the concept of dark humour? If we know our audience would be receptive to it, we absolutely will make jokes about Nazis, the Holocaust, and more. The difference is that our jokes are actually funny.
Why, not a fan of history? Germans are one human lifespan away from what they did. I’m not cool with accepting them as being an enlightened culture. Let’s remind them what they are
The reason you're not fucking funny is that the government who did that no longer exists. Are you still blaming Norway for all the raids on England? Or does time move fucking on and societies change?

In the 1970's and early 80;s UK we had TIZWAZ with Sally James
OrkenMork
Adult German TV back in the 60s and 70s was quite risqué as well! This is tame in comparison!

Is there a child relevant problem somewhere in this? If there is, I'm not seeing it.

I was in Germany for most of the 80s. This performance was likely followed up by a shirtless David Hasselhoff.
GeekDadKevin
Same and possibly followed up by Stevie bravo

... singing "I've been looking for freedom!" ... I confirm ... just a normal day in the 80s in Germany

And then probably followed by a clip of people having fun in the night with 99 luftballons music blasting

I was also, mostly in/around/between Kaiserslautern... Sabrina, The Hoff, and German kids going to school with Elvis lunchboxes.
LogicDude
I split just over 6 years first in Bad Kreuznach and then Munich!

It was a special moment in history.

This is pretty tame, compared to some of the Latino kids shows I've seen.

Bro, this is tame compared to Latino weather broadcasts ffs.

A friend is asking for source... For research purposes of course.

Sabrina would have been 19 at the time?

Yep.

That New Year's Eve was amazing. Spain still had Cuba. Hitler wanted to be a painter. What a time to be alive.

In america you can show someone getting their head blown off but not a nipple. Also if you say 'shit' on TV oh boooy are you in trouble!

Yes, breasts aren't pornographic in Germany. Would be so nice if Imgur would grow up in that regard.

So…. Is gassing millions of people to death the path to enlightenment?

Most not so recently and not to that magnitude

Dude. You can be better than this. It's a choice. You don't have to be a shithead.

Doesn’t answer my question. Everyone is saying that Germany learned and grew as a people - that literally means that the genocide was on their path to self betterment

Literally nobody has said anything to refute that

Do Germans?

They very specifically don't make jokes about this sort of thing

Your are, quite literally, a fuckstain to society.
yamamasyamaha
I mean aren’t we all just fuckstains then?
Grow up
CyberHexx
That isn't funny.
yamamasyamaha
Oh sorry it’s just that German society was gassing millions of people to death as recently as a single human lifespan
Whatever that country is, enlightened or not, was in part due to the process
CyberHexx
The reason you're not fucking funny is that the government who did that no longer exists. Are you still blaming Norway for all the raids on England? Or does time move fucking on and societies change?
yamamasyamaha
I wasn’t trying to be funny.
Governments are made of people, and the German people are still there.
Everything you say isn’t pushing back on my question. “They learned and grew from it!” - heah that’s called enlightenment, so it was on their path
Seriously do y’all even think?
