I don't think you are being particularly offensive, but i think you mean "Extras" and not "The Office". I agree, it was shit and i hated the cop-out way it ended. Ricky Gervais is very overrated.

Damn, I was too busy ranting to get the right TV series. The ending of Extras was so bad; I'm sure it'll be back for a Christmas special where Gervais is even more famous and adored.

Shame about the ending of Extra's the second series had great moments but too many ungreat moments I didn't think any of the famous people he utilised worked very well in series two, although the Bowie moment pleased me.

Yeah, Bowie was good; he actually put some effort into doing an entertaining song, unlike Robert Lindsay. Mainly the famous people (Orlando, Harry Potter, etc) confirmed my suspicions that they cannot act. The really annoying thing, though, was that around 5 minutes of every episode *was* funny; if he just made something totally awful that would be easier to ignore.

Nobody would bother cleaning the toilets in Dachau. That would be the fun part of running a concentration camp, you wouldn't really have to clean up much like you have to do at, say, Girl Scout camp (although once you think about it the Germans were pretty compulsively clean for people who were running an institution of mass death. It must be horrible to be a German what with that level of compulsion.)

I think I will develop a crush on Goebbels. That's about as unavailable and inappropriate as it gets (he was the ugliest of the Nazis, wasn't he?)

Goebbels was a little bug-eyed and reptilian but he had a certain sensitive intellectual appearance in his youth. Himmler looked like a potato and probably ties with Ernst Röhm at the top of the ugly charts. I think Richard Heydrich was the cutest, though Rudolf Hess looked like Henry Rollins, if you like that sort of square-jawed macho thing.

But all of them are probably good for crushing on. I hope the two of you will be very happy together. And that Nazi slash/fanfic will follow. They were of course all gay.

The Nazis weren't all gay! You don't get to be a 35-year-old virgin and not know these things. Anyway, expect me to stalk you for years, then disinvite you to my imaginary wedding.

You're not 35!

But feel free to stalk me if you like, I promise not to set the dogs on you, unless they're more the licking sort of dogs.
