I was wondering when this was going to happen. People take offense to the most silly things. I agree with the comment from the Irish-German Freeper. I too am German with a goodly bit of Brit Isles Party Mix thrown in--do I get to take issue with Arthur Treachers, Mr. Dunderbox (in all fine malls near you!) and even EPCOT for their innacurate portrayals of my indiginous peoples?

Still, as far as cultural stereo types go, I thought the best portrayal of German's was in National Lampoon's European Vacation. I hate Chevy Chase, but his Octoberfest dance in leiderhosen makes me apoplectic.

At the risk of sounding hopelessly crass, I hate Olive Garden--but I've enjoyed Carraba's (as far as chains go.) For tasty Italian food in Orlando, head to Antonio's in Maitland. Hoooo bubba, that's good stuff.

Well, you know the old sayings:

Hell is a place where the politicians are French, the police German and the cooks English. and

Heaven is a place where the politicans are German, the police English and the cooks French.
