The 991 GT3 forum is full of these videos.

Not even worth discussing anymore. Doubt it was the reference to the videos that got the thread closed. Those posts were deleted before that.

Someone doesn't like the "negativity aimed at the 992" I'm sure. Plus you get the regular few Rennlist morality hounds that police the threads and complain about everything they don't like. You know who you are.

Yes, it was pretty clear to all of us which person complained about the thread.

The person who complained and I had a clarification, and at the end we were all good.

Now I understand the point of view of people who feel like the untergang memes trivialize the tragedy of the Holocaust. I think it's best if we leave those videos alone and leave them for off topic or other settings. This forum is supposed to be fun for everybody.

I think it would be great if we could move on and go back to puking on that goofy hot wheels knockoff that is the 992.

The current Panamera Turbo is faster around the track and more comfortable than most of the last few generations of Carreras. Does that make it a better sports car?

At the risk of going way off topic, were you offended by the movie 'Downfall' upon which those funny videos were based? If not, how can you be offended when someone simply changes the dialogue to rant about something entirely unrelated? And if you were offended by the movie itself, yes, you're somewhat alone in that view.

I guess 300K people rated the movie pretty well.

You people need to read what the filmmakers themselves, including the late Bruno Ganz, have said about those videos.

Hint: the last, best revenge against evil is to laugh at it.

I didn't see the movie, so I can't comment. I've always cringed when I saw the Hitler meme thread pop up in Off Topic, but never commented or complained. I only felt the need to post on the subject when it was stated that they were "acceptable" and "comedy". I disagree. The vast majority of my wife's maternal family was wiped out in the Holocaust. I'm not sure that they can "just get over it" or "laugh it off". I fully understand why some individuals don't understand why it could be offensive to others. It was a long time ago and may not have had a direct impact on their life. But I applaud rick Brooklyn's willingness to listen to others' POV. Open dialogue is a good thing.
