A Thousand Hangover Reich - Guinness Stout's Nazi Advertisements

Every so often you come across a real life story that sounds more like a comedy routine but is in fact real. If, like me, you live in Ireland it's a daily occurrence. The Guinness brewery never one to miss a chance to exploit human misery and misguided patriotism, planned a marketing campaign targeting Nazi Germany back in 1936. The advertising Blitzkrieg, which was to be aimed at the German Wermacht was cancelled for reasons we'll never know. Oh wait, the Germans lost...No profit there. The  posters were created by the Dublin artist John Gilroy, are featured in a new book called Gilroy was Good for Guinness. The 'Goodness' of the 'Irish' stout being entirely dependent on which side of the 1935 Nuremberg Racial Hygiene Laws one found oneself, which were passed a year before Guinness cashed their chips on the Third Reich winning.

  4. Bill: "Using one of the strongest drugs ever and not getting "IT", what could that possibly mean, Anja?"

    Anja: "Is this a serious question, Bill?"

    Bill: "No. I just want you to answer. Killing motherfuckers bore be too much. I hope you don't mind, Babe."

    Anja: "I don't mind, honey. It means: NO SOUL! What so ever! Broke! Nothing there!"

  5. Anja: "Finally, Thomas, I worked my ass off for you. But...nothing is coming around. You are empty. No soul. Not cute at all. No response. You are not getting it. And when I say I worked my ass off I mean I AND I!!! Not just a little me that is chatting about "truth"-shit. Literally, Thomas, you have no pool to fall in, when you die. You are denied by every sampradaya. Do you know what that means? It means when you leave this physical form you become toilet-paper or pampers. But...at least...it is some form with a proper function. Very wellcome indeed."

    Bill: "Hari Om Tat Sat!"

    Durga-Ma: "Why wasting time on someone who can not see...can not hear...can not love?"

    Maha-Kali: "We are shouting from up above!"

    Chorus: "Too slow...can not grow...no funky-show...only words...BORING...and deluded!"

  18. G. Anja/Shiva/Bill/Durga: "Let me make it as plain as possible, Thomas. Everybody who is in the "truth-business" and is still watching TV, listening to the radio, reading news-papers is...without ANY exeption DELUDED and does not know anything at all regarding Truth.

    You are a slave without recognizing it. I know it by the mere fact that you still do mainstream media stuff, Thomas. WE...the divine most high...the HOLY-SPIRIT...don't do that! Regular people, who do mainstream media, are not as wicked and deluded as you are. Because they are innocent regarding that issue. They are not in the "truth-business" so it does not matter. They do just what they are supposed to do.

    But you, Thomas, are fucked. In the most unpleasant way one can possibly imagine. And there is nothing...absolutely nothing that can save you from now on!

    Not even yourself...not yourself anyway...who are you anyway...you have no Self...

  19. G. Anja: "This is a message for SHIVA only! Not for you, Thomas. You are done!

    Shiva, please come to Hamburg, Germany, if you can manage it. You can live in my appartement. I have a nice room for you and for you only. You come to Cafe Gloria, Bellealliance Straße / Lindenallee. You sit there and wait for me. I know who you are and how you look like. I go there every day so I will see you, if you sit at a window seat.

    Hari Om Tat Sat.

  20. G. Anja: "This is a message for Shiva only! Not for you Thomas. Shiva! I receive your messages via the holy-spirit every day very clearly. I do know your code. I do know your language and your signals in the holy-spirit. I know you what to come to me. I know you are longing for me. You are talking to me every day via the holy-spirit.

    You may not know your signals yourself...you may not know what kind of signals you send, but I know them by now. Every (fucking) single one! I want you as much to be close to me as you want to be close to me, Shiva. Come to Hamburg.

    You made it that far...now it is not too difficult to come here. And I have no problems to make myself known. They know me already. And they know they can not beat me...they can not stop me...they can not fool me...and they can not manipulate me. They try but...by now they know it's impossible.

    So...come here, Shiva, if you can...if you want to...if you can manage it. Only directed by the holy-spirit. If you are pure...we will meet soon.
