But no, *i* find this funny!
Ie in many, especially cultural aspects the DDR was more like
"original" Germany, and if you look at the history of Germanist
discussions, i quoted one from Wikipedia in one of the first of my
too many posts, then isn't it funny to scream on the front page
"but hey, have a look, *here it is*!", while at the same time
being all-correct and submissive on the lengthy inside?  (Despite
that politicized Wikipedia shit which talks on niche details.)
