MGM. I would find any jokes about Anne Frank extremely unfunny. She was a victim of the holocaust, remember, not a perpetrator.

Greg. Fascism is the most obscene political creed on earth. It repulses me. It horrifies me, and just occasionally it makes me feel physically sick. But how do you exorcise your demons if you can't laugh at them occasionally?

Talking of excorcism. How many of the detractors on this thread, including Greg, take any active part in the anti-fascist struggle? I'm in that struggle, and it will remain part of my life as long as I have one, or "until not one fascist is left on this earth", as Ewan MacColl put it. In the meantime, please forgive me if I take time out to poke fun at the monster now and again.

BTW., have you ever wondered how on earth people could have got through the second world war if they hadn't been able to laugh at Hitler?

Little Hawk. Der Untergang. I agree with every single word you said there, especially the bit about Nazism being a universal threat. Brilliant film, and the spoof was indeed based on one of its scenes.
