IIRC they were written by some german tabloids, a-la "The Sun" ("Bild" and "Der Spiegel" I seem to recall), but still...
Some of them were reported even by our newspapers, and caused quite a little bit of a "national case".
Same as that lame "Nur Italien nicht!" song. I wonder really how many find that crap funny tbh.
Chanting "It doesn't matter who will win the world cup, as long as it is not Italy", or "pushes, spits and insults: that's the italian soccer" is astonishing.
No nation is immune to idiots, be that Italy, Germany, Uk or whatever.
As we say here:
"The mother of the imbeciles is always pregnant"

Bold part marked for truth.
As for BILD (or BLÖD = STUPID, as many people call it) ... it's Germany's foremost example of Yellow Press. Many people read it but denounce it as bad and claim not to read it. I don't read any newspaper (except when I visit my home village as my parents have subscribed to a local paper) and can proudly state I have never bought a BLÖD and never will. I am actually appalled by this type of media, regardles off its name, makeup and whether it's a print media, online or TV. They're all despicable IMO.
