SCHLAND!

german flag SCHLAND!
I would like to send a special THANK YOU to all of our readers in Germany. I received many "quality" rumors from this part of the world. Remember the D700 magazine leak (you can refresh your memory here and here)? What is more interesting - we never received a "busted rumor" from Deutschland - all PS jobs are made in the USA.
Vielen Dank Deutschland!

    Schland?
    Ich versteh kein Wort, dass hab ich ja noch nie gehört.
    In other words: use “deutschland”.
    “schland” is not a german word or slang.
    you can also write “Deutscheeeland” when you like stefan raab ;)

    thanks for your rumor blog

    I corrected it already. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I can blame google for that one.

    Hi! Using “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles” ist not really a good idea to say thank you to you german readers. “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles” is the beginning of the first stanza which is proscribed in Germany because it was (mis-)used by the Nazis. We only use the third stanza of the “Deutschland” as our national anthem.

    Thanks, Thomas

    Thanks! I’m wondering how Google guided you to “SCHLAND!”. :-D

    This was a tip from a German-native – many people in the US will not get it, but again this post was addressed to the German readers.

    Next on the list is France…
