Those Crazy Germans!

While surfing the web, I found this crazy German quasi-tradition, known as Loveparade. Here is a description of loveparade from German Culture.com:

This year, Loveparade will be a part of a large campaign targeted at promoting a positive image of contemporary Germany among the British youth. The Germans intend to promote their country through catchy phrases and lively visuals on 10,000 postcards which will be backed up with a billboard and internet campaign.

In an effort to neutralize Britain’s perception of Germany as the evil adversary and land of non-existent humor, the message being packaged for delivery will focus on love not war.

Tom tells me that back when he was into Techno he really wanted to go to loveparade. Be sure to bring it up the next time you see him. He loves to talk about embarrassing aspects of his past. Speaking of which, you should ask him about the "flashlight incident of 2001".
