[hands folded behind back, mood: somber] Dear Deutche Gentlemen, thank you for showing me where I have erred in my ways. My half-assed joke of a question which lacked all means of expressing my true emotion was taken a tad bit too seriously than I had expected. =( However! [pointing up into the air, eyes widen, slight smirk, with full sincerity], this is not unfortunate as it led to my much more profound understanding of Germany during this special time in its history. For that I thank you, gentlemen.
[pointing hand opens up, and while I'm talking, it sweeps before me with such grandeur that it even puts to shame the grandiose war propaganda posters of Great Leaders pointing their armies forward to battle!] From now on, I shall go on preaching that things were at some times not so great for some people, pretty good for some people, and perhaps some people were better than most while at times most of the people weren't any better than the other people, who may have or may have not been doing better than the other people, but once again most of the people in the East weren't living a life as terrible as the pro-Western propagandists like to portray.
[facial expression: truly inquisitive and sincere yet joking at the same time] Speaking of propaganda and film, what are y'all's thoughts on Good-Bye, Lenin?
