1. Saturday evening.....Channel 1 (public TV) ran a 3-hour show....anniversary piece. So in the middle of it....interviewing one of their older comedians....they gave him several minutes to do a skit (probably originally done in the 1970s).
In this episode.....this comedian and a 2nd guy....were in a prison situation...talking about how they got there.
1st guy says: "Man, man, man, you, prison, you. If only I'd known they didn't say that anymore." He then utters the two words which got him into jail "Negerkuss" (Negro kiss) and "Zigeunerschnitzel" (gypsy schnitzel). Both are common terms that Germans would have uttered in the 1950s/1960s/1970s.
Today? Racist in nature.
So the reference here.....this is how he ended up in jail.
Well....since that evening....this has been hyped a great deal....in a critical way.
I don't think the network is sorry over the wording.....neither is the comedian. Added to this....there's probably over a hundred 'bad-words' in German existing.....that you can't utter, and yeah....you get 'cancelled' if you were to utter them. If you asked 10,000 Germans over the age of sixty? I'd guess 99-percent would say it's not racist.
Some push-back by the network against the 'woke-agenda'? Yeah, I'd suggest that.
2. Focus piece this AM....talking over war-fear, war-worry....that Russia might invade Germany. My worry index (1-to-10)? It's a minus-10.
But if statistics are correct.....around four out of ten Germans now have some panic.
This topic came up in the live public forum show on ARD last night.....continuing down this path....the Russians might invade.
3. Fair number of the youth element of the CDU-CSU Party....giving indicators they won't support the coalition forming. At the end of the talks....party is supposed to allow a vote to 'bless' the agreement. Vote ought to go and support the deal....but it's bound to be only like 75-percent in support.
4. Duisburg (NW Germany)....several schools will be closed Monday....threats made....police are taking serious.
5. About 80 miles north of Wiesbaden....murder over the weekend. What the cops say? Violent attack in Weitefeld in the Westerwald.
Family of three attacked and killed....a 47-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman, and a 16-year-old kid.....in their residence.
Early morning hours. It would appear that one member of the family tried to call for help before their demise.
Cops have no lead or conclusions to make.

Too bad they didńt update the punchlines/words to point out simple things today that are repressed.
I think most journalists (German)....have realized the 'woke' business and at least wonder how to confront it. Comedians are the front-line against this repression. There's a lot of German movies/TV shows of the 1970s/1980s....that none of the TV networks will show today....because of themes or gutter talk. You go and bring up Tutti-Fruitti.....that can start a cofrontation.
