Officially, yes. However, if you own a TV, a radio or a computer with internet access, you have to pay up to 25 USD a month to finance the channels. Since this applies to almost anyone, it is pretty much a tax. Also, the broadcasting commission of these channels consist of political factions, religious interest groups and other specific lobbies. So it’s actually expensively disguised state-run television which eagerly spreads propaganda.
By now they even think of creating an own search engine because they can’t control Google. They consider it to be too risky not to have their own Gatekeeper online in order to filter the information the German people are looking for. But what can you expect, censorship has a proud and long tradition in Germany…
“censorship has a proud and long tradition in Germany”???
Ehm – which Germany do you mean? Is there another Germnay than that right in the middle of Europe? If you meant the Germany between France and the Czech Republic, then let me just tell you one thing: Germany is probably the country in the world where the freedom of opinion is most of all maintained.
So go home and care for your bitterness there.
“I just want to say thank you to all the nonexistent people who made it possible for me to win this shiny new nonexistent trophy. But I can’t accept it because I don’t exist.”
That’s very disconcerting. An enormous red rectangle floating over the entire country like that CANNOT be an indicator of favorable weather conditions.
Once again, it’s just not funny if you write what it’s failing in. We can see! I hope the person who made this one is reading this. Don’t make the mistake of thinking other people are as retarded as you are.
Morning Mooks. *hugs*
The full method of seaweed forecasting is as follows:
Dry seaweed: Sunny
Wet seaweed: Rainy
No seaweed: Windy, it’s blown away
Seaweed there but not visible: Foggy
Wow, Das Erste schaut so aus wie Das Letzte! The worst part is that that is a German forecast, but they use American software. So much for German Engineering…
There are certain differences between engineering and programming xD and besides i do think it’s german software; it’s only written in english (look at the german word “Foto” in the bottom left corner)… You can consider yourself lucky that almost every software is written in english… So you don’t have to learn other languages^^

FIRST!!!!!!!
Schools out? Damn!
*nods* but only in certain parts of the world.
Which? Gotta be Europe considering the time.
Kids around here are definitely still in school.
Same here. I think someone mentioned yesterday that schools out in the US. But wouldn’t it be a bit too early (or late) for them?
No, not yet it’s alittle too early.
You didn’t stay up all night when school finished for holidays?
I did even during school time. But I would look for porn right now if I was 15…
HAHA
Kids these days seem to be doing it wrong!
School? They got a few minutes internet time at the mental institution is more likely.
The mental image I get whenever I try to picture a “first” posting person involves a straight jacket and a cushioned room with no windows.
You could still be doing that. Why aren’t you?
Sex in real life is more fun.
I sure do miss it.
If you loose some wait, you still could.
*weight.
*hangs head in shame*
*lose
*starts sobbing*
Forgiven! Stand proud Czuhc, you speak better English than most English people.
*lose. Sorry, had to.
Grrr.
Haha, I was first. You loosed!
I’m such a looser!
I’m loost.
Is that you swell foooop?
Answer the Moooomin!
There are warnings of red rectangle in Fisher, German Bight, Humber, Thames.
There’s always warnings oblong the Dogger Bank.
SOMEBODY STOLE THE WEATHER!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH
Lex Luther?
Must have been. It wasn’t me.
*Hides weather in hand grenade*
Wasn’t me either!
Was it thine Holiest of hand grenades,
the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?
haha nice…ARD fail
(thats the channel on the picture, this channel is funded by the government 
)
Fail! The only member organisation funded by the gov is “Deutsche Welle”, they have less or nothing in common with the TV channel “Das Erste”.

It’s actually part of the national censoring system.
I can’t imagine how awkward that must feel.
It’s German weather forecast which explains everything
people fail when they say ” first comment ” and they never get it
“Yay, I won a contest that doesn’t exist.”
Congratulations.
*hands sparky a shiny new trophy*
Speech.
“I just want to say thank you to all the nonexistent people who made it possible for me to win this shiny new nonexistent trophy. But I can’t accept it because I don’t exist.”
*non existent applause*
*non existent after party follows*
1st! lmao
Go read a book.
I think you’ll like this song maybe. (clickie)
Good one!
I just thought of it after you said it.
I haven’t seen it in awhile.
Gained a lot of weight ?
I didn’t get it at fir*t, but you’re calling me fat. hehehe
It’s in one of these folds.
*lifts fat rolls*
nope not that one.
Can I have another peek there?
*peeks*
So there you were all that time!
*retrieves gerbil*
While you’re down there can you see if you can find the remote? Please.
The remote’s not there. Your flatscreen is, though.
So, all this time I was watching Insert something funny here________________
Ahh that didn’t sound so bad in my head.
At least Denmark was unaffected.
I remember that day. We didn’t have weather for two days!
How was that?
Uncanny.
I thought it was quite canny myself, I felt cannier than a sardine.
Was it good, bad or how was it I shoulde’ve asked
Don’t know. The files were missing!
I wish I could experience no weather. Europe always gets all the action.
I thought Germany was in Europe. Did I miss something?
Yes No
yup…germany ist in south-africa jam
I think it’s going to be one of those days again! *sigh*
haha wut days you mean :p
the days stupid ppl want to tell you stupid things? *puzzled*
Certainly. We need IgnoreLube!
IgnoreTube!
No, I thought it was in Canada.
might be
But you said that Europe… ah nevermind!
Read the comment again, jam. It’ll become clear…
Hence the nevermind! hehe *squeeze*
Oh. *squeeze* How do?
Not bad. Went to the beach yesterday.
Your good self?
*Group squeeze*
Hi there. Had two parties myself!
I guess it’s still too cold to swim? I’m alright, should be working right now…
Ohh, the beach was awesome yesterday, and the day before.
Pfft! Work is for wimps.
I don’t do swimming, no matter how warm it is.
Wooo… Czuhc’s a party animal.
*house
*Bingo
*yahtzee
*rummy
*check
*King me
Uno!
You sank my Battleship!
i was talkin’ bout africa
Sorry If I confused you jam.
*squeeze*
I just wanted to play along.
*squeeze*
Stop saying sorry. I walk around in a state of confusion most of the time anyway.
I’m sorry, too.
Why are you sorry, Arthur?
u ain’t
Dunno, jam. I’ll try to find a reason.
Well don’t or I shall go crazy, northern on your ass!
You’ll be sorry when you find one.
I regret that you said that.
I feel guilty that I brought that up.
I apologize about not doing anything about this.
I regret starting this.
I regret nothing.
That sounds like remorse.
Indeed, I wish I’d never created that nothing, it caused so much boredom to children.
Nothing that can’t be cured by trampoline. Or can be. Ehm…
Excellent thinking old bean!
*begins construction of giant trampoline*
Are dogs allowed to jump in that trampoline?
Yes, anyone can. It’s gonna be great!
*protects balls*
*bounces*
Make sure there are no barbed wire fences. please.
*writes everything down in medical chart*
I’m gonna make a 3d trampoline!
you finished?
Yes, you can get into it through the top by climbing up the ladder. You can only get out by bouncing.
*bounces in and out again*
How did you decide weather to go out or not?
That’s very disconcerting. An enormous red rectangle floating over the entire country like that CANNOT be an indicator of favorable weather conditions.
I agree. I’ll feel better when I look up and see the gigantic H’s and L’s floating overhead.
In Germany, it’s not “H” and “L” but “H” and “T”.
That’s why I’m confused all the time when I’m in the states…
you dumb cheeseburgers
Hamburger, actually.
at least yeah
Mmmm…meatburger….
Hehe

Does this mean those are republican countries?
Once again, it’s just not funny if you write what it’s failing in. We can see! I hope the person who made this one is reading this. Don’t make the mistake of thinking other people are as retarded as you are.
Erm… “Not available…” is NO caption. Just sayin’.
What do you mean, “what it’s failing in”? Do you mean ‘why it’s a fail’?
but there are some like you, aren’t there?
It looks like he’s knocking on the screen to solve the problem.
Good morning all!
Or “as if”
Morning
Morning people!
Good Evening
Goodbye?
(c’mon Aja, this one’s for you!)
“Ha, ha. No. *rings small hand-bell* … Aren’t you going to ask me why I rang the bell?”
Can I have a go?
Wow, Aja’s carpet tile looks hairy!
It’s an imposter. I haven’t had a beard for some years now.
FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE
(sorry – was away)
Sorry, should have weighted longer.
*loonger.
There’s 2 O’s in loose.
*squeeze*
Ouch!
It’s my usual reaction when technical things fail. But mostly that doesn’t help.
In this case it would have been extra silly, because it’s just a blue screen.
Nooo, not the blue screen of death.
Thread carefully lest you plummeth in the Blue Screen of Depth!
Wow, that was pretty deep. You’re thoughts are bottomless.
*tosses Aja in the Gorge of Eternal Peril*
*swallows*
Hellp!
*checks imposter’s blood pressure*
It’s absolutely normal for your advanced stage.
ARRRRRRRRGH!!!! Germany is gone!
*Looks guilty*
it isn’t
still found it on goolge map 
phew relief… and I was fearing I had to live in a big white “F”, now…
Hey Fruitcake! Quiet!
morning all
noone likes meh *cry*
I like everyone. Don’t cry or you’ll create a flood.
*pat pat pat*

Does it say “Aktuell”? FAIL!
(In memoriam Coke truck fail.)
its not fail too dude…germaaaaaaaaaaan
*facepalm*
That is so out of date now.
why ?
*facepalm*
*facebook*
You destroyed a nice symmetry.
*roffles*
OCD?
An illness more common than I thought. Aka “Fruitcake syndrome”.
Arthur, did you read my 25 things blog?
I’ll do it now.
Check out #10! hehe
I had something similar. When I stepped in a gap on the sidewalk with my right foot I tried to step in another gap with my left foot in the same way.
HAHA. I laugh because it’s so familiar.
*squeeze*
*symmetrical squeeze*
*hops in on one leg*
Hello! Damn nuisance, this amputation.
*facecalm*
Again I am sorry. I can’t help it. I usually tend to do that unconsciously.
Those blog rules need an additional “Avoid destroying symmetrical posts” to go under “Don’t get between a Dragon and her Admiral”.
In the long run all symmetry will be destroyed by late posters. They have no sense for art!
Wait…”a” Dragon?
Ok… *replaces ‘a’ with ‘the’ into comment*
Indeed, I own no Admiral.
There can be only one.
You should get yourself a General instead.
You spelled “involuntarily” wrong. I hope.
that is a nice problem
I prefer the seaweed method of weather forecasting.
If the seaweeds wet, it’s raining. Or still in the sea.
Morning all.
*waves*
You really did hide your sausage! Woo..
*waves*
I wasn’t happy with it so I got rid of it
Welcome back, darling Moomin face.
*squeeze*
I prefer to stay in the house, and avoid the issue of weather altogether.
Morning Moom! Morning everyone!
*hugs*
Morning Mooks. *hugs*

S’ok We didn’t really need the Mediterranean anyhow.
This must be what happens when you press Zurack’s red button.
(Yeah, we’re back to being a day behind thinking of things).
Belgium has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If this problem persists, please contact the Belgium foreign ministry.
German TV at it’s best
