the european soccer championship is just about to start here in central europe, and three games will be held in innsbruck.
this pretty much divides tirol into two groups of people: those who love the UEFA, and those who hate it.

i think the youtube title describes it better than any other combination of words: it really is a “creepy-ass noodle commercial”.
it’s such a fine day (now that the exam is over), i thought i’d share a revised version of my childhood memories:
i’m not sure how popular biene maja (maya the bee) is/was in the english-speaking parts of the world, or if you know the show at all. it was relatively popular in my kindergarten era…
my friend armin mentioned yesterday that the german terrorists in the latest south park episode, “super fun time”, reminded him a lot of the ones from the 1988 movie “die hard”.
turns out he was right:
for comparison, here’s an image from “die hard”:
in “die hard”, the name of the villains’ leader is hans gruber (played by alan rickman) – in this southpark episode, his name is franz. i guess that’s about as close as they could get without risking a lawsuit?
by the way: in the german version of “die hard” (titled “stirb langsam”), the names of the terrorists had to be changed into english ones – hans, karl, heinrich, were changed to jack, charlie and henry.
update: note how the woman’s face is obscured by hans gruber in both images.
