There’s a Frank Zappa Street in Berlin

In an industrial park in Marzahn. That is all.

The Perils of Denglish, or Ass Love Deluxe for the Whole Ass Family

Ever played 'Ass Golf'? In the mood for some 'Ass Love Deluxe'? Does your family deserve to become an 'Ass Family'?

If you answered 'Jawohl!', and I'm sure you did, have I got a hotel for you. It's called the Saalbacher Hof, in Saalbach, Austria, and its summer vacation packages include:

Trumpf Ass Wandern   Trumpf Ass Family   Trumpf Ass Love Deluxe   Trumpf Ass Bike   Trumpf Ass Golf

The theme here, as German-speakers will have immediately noticed, is playing cards: Trumpf = trump, and Ass = ace. But then the oily-haired marketing types pepped up the stodgy hotel's image with some of that sickeningly hip English. Today's Austrian 'Familys' deserve no less!

One simple rule for ad-men, delivered free of charge: If you start a phrase or sentence in German, for G$d's sake finish it in German.
