I guess Nazi's and Jews is the new cowboys and indians.

China's international broadcasting channel CCTV9 just announced Mount Everest was first climbed on 25th May 1960 by Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua.

Indeed it is Simon. Hope everything's okay for you today.

Legally, they did nothing wrong. But it was exceptionally poor taste. They either didn't really know how poor, or they didn't care. Both of these options are troubling.
Frankly I find this in much poorer taste Rich.

A military procession, including five never-before-seen missiles, will be on display on the central Avenue of Eternal Peace in the early hours. Some 150 warplanes loaded with bombs will complete a ceremonial flyover. The route will be blocked off for the public, and those with balconies overlooking the avenue have been warned to stay indoors and watch the parade on TV.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not partial to flyovers by planes with payloads. At least The Lincoln students' most vile stench is vomit and freedom. The film 'Thunderball' comes to mind...

Is there such a thing as unintentional satire? I don't think so. They were just being a bunch of cocks, and revelling in it.
They were, but they same was said of Peter Cook. Not so much that the satire was unintentional but that the political commentary offered by Anke foisted it rather unworthily up that mast.

Oh sure, those Lincoln students were making satirical political commentary on Nazi self-importance and the complex layering of the Final Solution.
Whether intentionally or not, yes.

Marry a guy who dresses as the leader who brought Slobodan Milosevic to justice for crimes against humanity replete with a Frankfurter hanging from his fly, and the whole world just goes crazy....

So your saying Rich it's ok to redress as the losers of struggle, and forget the victims? Dressing as the victims, the Jewish prisoners is the very best way to mock Goering and the like.
Reenactments are good fun.
To throw a party themed around the darkest period in German history is as fitting as having a 'Stolen Generation' ball in Darwin ("Bring your black and your white mum"), or a 'Killing Fields' piss-up with a Pol Pot look-alike contest at the Cambodian cultural centre.
It really depends who is holding these events and where. In this case much the same as aborigines throwing a 'Stolen Generation' ball in Darwin. Lest we forget which side we were on. As New Zealanders we have little shame to feel for our involvement in what transpired in those war years. So why should we now?

It's a costume party dude. Watch some Richard Pryor.
