About two or three times a week I buy a copy of “Bild.” Bild is the most widely distributed newspaper here in Germany. It is cheap, has great color pictures, and questionable ethics. The stories are short and to the point. It is perfect for those trying to learn the language. The other stories covered are also rather funny. Examine the picture below.
No, this isn’t a look-alike contest for a former Führer, but rather a contest of a whole different beast. This is a photo of the 40th Bayerischen Schupfmeisterschaft in Blossenau. Basically the point is to see who can snort up to 5 grams of tobacco in one minute. I couldn’t make this up even if I tried.
Special thanks to Bild for the photo and necessary news coverage. Fox News should take notes on what quality mediocre news is.
