Some people say Beppe Grillo is just a comedian, which is how he has made his living most of his life. Some people say gruesome Grillo is paving the way for neo-neo-neo of the murdering kind.
Says Beppe Grillo on his blog and YouTube performances:
“Yes, the Jews were sent to Auschwitz! The problem is that two kilometers from Auschwitz there was an IG Farben factory. Farben is called BAYER today.”
Where’s the problem? The 1.3 million and more are being nicely replaced by Muslims.
His comment must lose something in the translation. I’m not getting the humor, or the insight, or the snark, or anything.
Is it OK now to buy Bayer aspirin, or is the brand still tainted by the Nazi association?
One of my father's favorite jokes was of the man who walks into a drugstore and asks for acetylsalicylic acid. The druggist asks him, "Do you mean aspirin?" The man says, "Yes--I can never remember that name."
