ROME -- Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who owns Italy's largest private television network, said yesterday that his controversial Nazi jibe at a German politician had been inspired by the 1960s comedy ''Hogan's Heroes.''

Berlusconi set off a diplomatic storm in the European Parliament on Wednesday when he told Martin Schulz, a parliamentarian who had criticized him, that he would be perfect playing a concentration camp guard in a film.

When Berluscoi made the comment...I immedately thought he meant Shultz of Hogans Heros. The funny thing is that a German TV network has been running Hogans Heros for a number of months now, and I think a lot of the 15-25 year-olds realize the connection. These guys over 40...haven't watched it and don't get the connection.
