This German Covid ad, now subtitled in English, is absolutely superb 👏

1. Funny. I thought he was going to have been a chemist or something.

[Shermann]

2. Very insightful, not the kind of thing you'd see here nt

[RVN VET71]

13. Because half of us refuse to do even that much

Because half of us are self-appointed lovers of "their freedoms" and don't give a rat's ass about the people they infect.

Because half of us voted for a science-denying con-man who, even as the deaths pile up and he is on the way out of Office is still grifting from the loyal, ignorant fools who worship him.

14. I guess the current generation isn't going to unseat the Greatest Generation anytime soon

They had to storm the beaches of Normandy and make tremendous sacrifices. All we had to do was be couch potatoes for a year.

16. And it will get much worse over the holidays

Even many members of the Biden half of the population are preparing to celebrate with family because, well gee whiz, that's what the holidays are all about: getting together with your loved ones (and spreading a lethal disease among them and, through contact, their neighbors and friends).

Sigh!

3. Follow up no subtitles. None needed.

[PSPS]

5. You can turn on Englich subtitles. (Auto - English)

The Ad Council has the talent to do this kind of stuff. They can be run as PSA's everywhere.

4. This is how it's done

This is how a federal effort is done. This is how proper adult leadership works. This is how Biden can bring the country around on this and get politics out of a public health crisis.

6. Kick

7. "This was our fate." Evoking the fate of 22-year-olds in other wars.

Delightful, and hopefully punches through.

"Become a hero too and stay at home."

8. It's a good ad for its target - 20 somethings.

Could add some scenes of how people keep in contact, entertain themselves, get in home excercise, make funny or stylish masks, etc.

I can visualize young folks excercizing and raising up fists, singing "Fight, fight, fight corona" to the tune of My Sharona.

9. Being as lazy as raccoons...

Raccoons must be different in Europe. Ours are active and ingenious, with a touch of evil. Trash can pirates they are.

Wonderful message. Well done and spot on!!! Why can't we do stuff like this? Oh, that's right. Our government is controlled by ignorant hacks these last 4 years, while Germany actually HAS a government led by an uber competent Chancellor. January can't get her soon enough!

12. Thumbs up on raccoons thought the exact same thing.

Great ad.

20. That made me happy as squirrel!

15. And superb it is!

Thank you.

17. Heros of the Sofa. LOL!! Mask Commandos.

Speech will be written not of the Boys of Point de Hoc,

but the Bros of Lazyboy Recliners.

Epic.

18. I love this ad

[moondust]

19. Some didn't get the message.

Yesterday: Anti-lockdown march in Frankfurt: Police use water cannon on counterprotesters

22. Medieval plague deniers and anti-vaxxers

Keeping with the German outlook, here is a German take on what how today's anti-vaxxers might have behaved in medieval Germany. Rejection of science and belief in conspiracy theories are rampant among the population. Sorry, I have not found a version with English subtitles, but you can probably get some of the drift. Title "Anti-vaxxers (Impfgegner)" Starts off with the crowd demanding that the authorities "Stop the Plague Lies", warnings against manipulation by "Billus Gatius" and claims that Corona is a Trojan house of the worldbankers. King Drumpf recommends injecting soap. In the end it switches back to 2020 to the heirs of the medieval beliefs.
