15. Transrapid
A failure, a fine example of socialist subsidy politics. Now only China has one and they are close to building their own. I have read that German industry and the political parties want to get out of the Tranrapid altogether and sell the plans and patents to the Chinese out right.

22. Günter Grass
A filthy leftist, Turk lover and all around anti German.

25. Roast and Gravy
Isn’t that more of an English thing?

43. The Currywurst Booth
Another fucking alien food, how about the Schwabian Kitchen, now that has to be the world's most underrated culinary delight.


72. Döner Kebab
Fucking Turkish food!!

83. Boris and Steffi
Borish the filthy race mixer, and Steffi didn't do much better.


86. The Green Dot
A fine example of Green, eco-fascist oppression. Fuck the Greens!
