Hmmm. Well, the English of a lot of German native speakers (notice the URL says www.trekstor.de) is not that good - especially in the Southern parts.

It probably got banned because some moron tried to kick a bear in the 'nads, got killed, and the family sued.
I remember many years ago there was a Taco Bell had a product called the "pocket taco" and an associated commercial touting "Pretty Polly's Poacket Taco". I don't think the metaphor was missed as it did not last very long. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

And I thought that this was a Phil Collins thread. That really shocked me as a thread on PA.
In regards to the product - Methinks, an Al Sharton/Jesse Jackson protest is coming soon. -------------

I see... I'm not familiar with those things, so I guess I'll fail everytime the joke is based of those concepts.

Not to worry, my Chilean friend. "Hangman" is a perfectly innocent school kid's game, where you have to guess a hidden phrase by guessing letters of the alphabet that might belong in the corresponding blanks. Every time you guess a letter that does not appear in the phrase, your opponent draws another part of your body (an arm, a leg, the head, etc.) until, if you get too many wrong, he adds a rope, and you're "hung" -- that is, you lose.(It's actually good for teaching spelling.)  The above would seem to be an online version of the old classroom favourite. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'

Hmmm. Google inserts these ads based on page content.

Nevetheless, talking about accidental racism and knowing that a system chooses the add based on content... I know the hangman game, I've played it a hundreed times, it's the connection of contents what feels wrong somehow... ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |
