Angelogen!

Okay, that was kind of painful. I've been on a Scrubs binge lately. It was never a show I watched when it was in prime time, but I caught some episodes in syndication and enjoyed them, so I've been working my through season two on YouTube. I just got to an episode featuring a German patient and his brother. The German was all comprehensible and grammatical but just so glaringly non-native. Neither of them could pronounce ch for Scheisse. I went to the IMDb and looked up the actors. One even has the urauthentisch name of Ingo Neuhaus, but turns out to be an American army brat who, though born in Karlsruhe, grew up in Texas. The other guy was Danish. Both looked insanely Aryan. Still, kudos to the writers for Not Mentioning the War. Instead we got kooky references to Nena. Vorschritt!

Too bad the reference wasn't Nina (as in Hagen).

Fortschritt?

Also, I never got the "Don't mention the war" thing, I don't think any German gets it, unless they're very well educated in terms of British stereotypical views of us but most of us aren't. It's Nazism we're sensitive about, not the war.

Danish ? Who ?
