They're all now obsessed by this 1996 Eurovision epic, Surfen Multimedia by the Eurocats. I can't think of a better monument to Germany's influence on global cyberculture. (My Sacrificial New Year's Resolution is to not say "awesome" so much.)http://www.oblomovka.com/entries/2008/01/01#1199217780 |
