Yesterday, a person speaking American tried to raise the American flag in Nuuk, Greenland. Bystanders immediately stopped him.
Turns out, this was German comedian Maximilian Schafroth. The Kingdom of Denmark has been threatened with war. Greenlandic children are traumatized. People are not sleeping. Soldiers are patrolling to prevent the invation. And Schafroth thought this would be a fun stunt in our age of disinformation.
If I know the Germans right, this will not improve his standup career.
@randahl Prosecuting him for sedition

@randahl don’t you mean English, since American isn’t a language?
@DavidNielsen I have heard audio of the situation. He was speaking English with a heavy American accent. With a Mastodon character limit, this was the effective way to describe it.

@randahl That's spectacularly stupid of him. But, that does seem to be going around. <long digital sigh>

@randahl He is a satirist on the “Heute Show” on ZDF - 2nd public German Television. Update i am wrong: He works for Extra 3 for NDR/ARD, but that's also public television.

Speaking of a comedian pretending to be an American in Greenland …

@randahl Jede Karriere endet mit einem Fehler. Aber er könnte in den USA vielleicht eine neue Karriere starten. Falls ihn ICE nicht vorher erwischt.

@randahl depends on next elections. Facism is back - even in bloody Germany.

@hennichodernich @randahl That's right, he works for Extra 3 for NDR/ARD, but that's also public television.

@randahl This belies the maxim "any publicity is good publicity."

@randahl Never heard of him but seems to be an idiot
@CyberPunker He's a pretty good Bavarian comedian known for his biting political satire. But here he went too far.

@randahl I don't think so. Germans have a lot of humour. E.g. when Trump imposed tariffs, a comedian from the heute show waited in front of an American supermarket in Germany with a hi-viz west labeled "Zoll" (customs) and demanded a 25% bite of candy bars that had just been purchased. That was actually quite hilarious.

@randahl yeah, it’s not even good humour at that point either.

@randahl "I thought I could get some shock laughs! I'm not that good of a comedian, to tell the truth."

@randahl The show is public TV and usually known for serious satire, not comedy or even cringe comedy.
The "comedian" is also known for satire.So I don't understand this at all. How can anybody think this could be a great or funny idea?

@randahl
He's actually in public TV and the political satire is actually really good.Let's see what the context of this is - I'd assume they are making fun of Trump's attempts to colonize Greenland somehow...

• English (simplified)
• English (traditional) -

Since I have #AuDHD and thus enjoy a good rabbit hole.
