Yeah, I've heard that over the years, but Babblefish translates 'ich bin ein Berliner' to "I am Berlin."

I took 2 years of German in high school. My German teacher told us about this. President Kennedy should have said "Ich bin berliner" (no ein).

Google translates it to "I am a citizen of Berlin."
Google translates "I am a jelly doughnut." to "Ich bin ein Geleekrapfen."
They must not like jelly doughnuts.
