    Robot chicken. And yes, the complete trivialization of holocaust by trash media and trash celebrities is something that doesn't sit well here.

          Five words: The Day the Clown Cried. If that was real, this certainly could be.

            By a twist of fate, [the protagonist] ends up accidentally accompanying the children on a boxcar train to Auschwitz, and he is eventually used, in almost Pied Piper fashion, to help lead Jewish children to their deaths in the gas chamber. Offered his freedom if he fulfills this request, Helmut reluctantly obliges to do so. Leading them to the "showers", he becomes increasingly dependent on a miracle, only to learn there is none. After all the children go into the chamber, he is so filled with remorse that he goes into the room himself to entertain them. As the children laugh at his antics, every one of them dies quietly of the effects of Zyklon B.


            I must see this film.

            Still, from the looks of it that's more about the value of humor in tragic circumstances, which could be done tastefully. A teenybopper love story made possible by time travel makes for a world of difference.
            Unbelievable!

              Ahhh okay, that makes sense now. Yes, it was "-lauch", as I recall now.

              This is what happens when you study German for three years in high school but don't use it for a decade. :/

                    I'd rather see a remake of Schindler's List with talking animals and a happy ending.

                          Are you saying that you are some Gothic architecture detail dangling from a roof ?
                          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                              The initial attraction is based on his dieting tips. It just crescendos from there.
