The Nazi Legacy: Dead Jews and "No Smoking" Signs
Over in LJ Land there's this fun little community by the name of [info]damnportlanders. It's an awesome comm for the most part, but does have its share of, shall we say, disproportionately passionate folks. Exhibit A: [info]bennetfox.

Yesterday he posted a rant entitled To the Anti-Smoking Gestapo. From zero to Godwin's in 1.3 seconds? This can only get better.

The crux of his complaint is the smoking ban placed on Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. Bear in mind that this ordinance went into effect on 1 January 2007, so I'm not sure why his frothing rage had to marinate for 5 months first, but okay.

[info]bennetfox is incensed with this inconvenience to his personal liberties, and lashes out at everyone who supported this ban. All of whom are planet-killing SUV owners who deserve a painful and messy death.

And as I watched this unfold yesterday, I was just going to let it be stupid all on its own. But [info]bennetfox returned today, enthusiastically pointing the Gestapo to other major cities that they can "ruin" next.

But really it's all okay cuz he's just doing it for the lulz.

Keep Portland Wanky!

Berlin first cast, Thomas Borchert? I saw him at the Vienna anniversary concert this February, he has amazing charisma :)

And by the way, e-mail me at grafin.von.krolock AT gmail.com? Your husband is not the only one interested in or in possession of interesting things ;) And I still don't have a Berlin video, despite the fact that my best friend's friend is in the cast.

I believe so? Though, in my defense, it has been a couple years since I've sat down and watched it. All I know was that Krolock was amazing.

I shall do so! But first, I have an actor house to go clean (when I say he's into theater, he really is - even works for one!)

In that case it wasn't Berlin, I'm afraid. They only started the Berlin run this December. If he was amazing, that must have been Steve Barton in Vienna, or possibly Borchert in Hamburg. I'd also guess at Lukasz Dziedzic in Warsaw, but you'd probably notice if it were in Polish ;)

Hamburg! I'm fairly certain it was the Hamburg production. Definitely a German production. I know all of three phrases, but I do know what German sounds like!
