Hi,
we had in Germany an advert of Citroen, that dealt with national clichés as well ('twas about regional food in a crash-test). I think the Ad in question is quite funny, a little out-dated may be. (... nonetheless I'd really like to know this waitress ) ... anyway, I like even movies/series, like Top Secret / Hogans Heros that go way farther in displaying stereotyped Germans and I dont feel offended.
just found this, IIRC it was designed to be part of an official EU campaign

Quote:Well someone must have found something they disliked because the Advert now appears in an edited version.may be, but I'd sooner think, that it was cancelled out of fear it could be embarrassing.
