Today's Ludic Log: by popular demand (yes, some people actually asked for these, I'm not just being lazy), more golden greats from my years on the music boards: music and movies gone horribly wrong.
Okay, I'm glad that everyone is busting on Prince Harry's ass for wearing a Nazi armband and all. That's just as it should be. We had a name for obnoxious, overpriveleged, good-looking guys who flirted with Nazi imagery back in my day, and that name didn't so much rhyme with "chintz" as it did with "grasshole".
But I think it's slightly curious that the press coverage seems to focus on how outraged the Jews are, to the extent that it's almost turned into, I dunno, a Jewish issue, or something. Because, sure, the Jews have more right than anyone to be prickly about the whole Nazi thing, but...Hitler actually attacked England, too. Remember the Blitz? Remember the Battle of Britain? Remember all those invasion plans that Hitler was drawing up for Scapa Flow and Southend? I mean, shit, I'd be pissed if I was a Jew. But I'd be SUPER MEGA PISSED if I was just a normal English goy, as well, because here's the goddamn heir to the throne of my country boogieing down in the regalia of the motherfuckers who tried to invade my ass 60 years ago! Shit, Harry, those fuckin' Nazis were trying to KILL YOUR GRANDMA!
