Knut now completely unavoidable

If you don’t know the Knut story yet, I’m sure the hell not going to tell you. The only animal Germans might possibly be more interested in right now would be Godzilla, but only after a prolonged attack. Most Berliners weren’t much interested in the mega-historic and thoroughly important EU 50th Anniversary and Berlin Declaration signing here over the weekend, for instance, preferring to go to the zoo or watch one or two or three of the Knut specials on TV instead. I think they’ve even got a Knut Kam up and running by now. Why not? They’ve got a Knut everything else.

This Knutmania stuff has gotten completely out of hand, in other words. I even had my first Knut knightmare last night. He cuddled me into a coma and then slowly ripped me apart limb from limb. But he was sooo cute while doing it. And it took him forever, too. Being so small like that and all.

I tell you, this friggin’ little man-eating bear is so cute I could puke.

And that is why I have decided to compose the following little poem (a futile attempt at exorcism):

K stands for kuschelig (kuddly and kute)
N stands for niedlich (charming), the brute
U stands for urig (quaint) and unsurpassed
T stands for thankful, that Knut will grow up fast.

Wow, I feel much better already. That was really getting to be unbearable. Oops, I mean intolerable.

Knut war schon interessanter als die anderen großen Tiere.

Kommentare auf Deutsch? Logisch.

1 - Maybe that ONE animal rights activist that Blöd-Zeitung quoted and blew up all out of proportion will put his money where his mouth is... kidnap Knut and release him in the frozen wastes!

Dann würden die Bären wirklich los... (Comment this)

3 - letters, it is (seriously). They say these pandas are pretty sensitive. But, of course, one of the first newspaper titles (online) out there was something like "Panda commits suicide" or something, jealous because of Knut etc. (Comment this)

4 - No way - which paper was that? Does it have lots of pictures and make up stories?

Unfortunately, I am just brimming with puns about all this but out of respect for the recently deceased, have decided to hold off. Til tomorrow. (Comment this)

7 - Cosima, I HAD to pick on him. He really is just too damned cute. And I think you're on to something there about becoming more German etc. They say (whoever they are) that we always get into conflict easier with people who are most similar to/remind us of ourselves. (Comment this)

8 - Oh God, I had to think about G.W.B. as I read your comment Clarsonimus. I hope so you aren't right with that. (Comment this)

9 - Volker, no, I meant as an individual, not a nation or anything. You know, why do some people rub you the wrong way? If you look closely, a lot of times you realize that they are doing the very same things that you do, the things you can't stand about yourself, but maybe haven't realized or admitted to yet. Of course, on the other hand, this all could be a big pile of horse #!?*#!. (Comment this)

10 - I did mean it totally unpolitical and personal, i should had chosen Mr. Schröder too.
I don't like them both on a personal instance, if you can say so( I haven't meat one of them).
There ways of "acting" and speaking, there personal believe system (not especially religion) were the things I thought about. (Comment this)
