BSkyB support dubs Germany 'Hitler's country'

Don't mention the war indeed:

The Grammar Nazi in me is obliged to point out a missing possessive apostrophe in the offending line.

I once went for a job as a sky customer service representative. I lasted four days of the training, three of which involved making a fucking poster and listening to some wannabe douche purloin the jokes of Bill Hicks and others as an attempt to ingratiate himself, rather than do any fucking training. I left since the place was filled with drunks, sluts, pillheads, sectarian wankers and the HRT brigade. Not really a healthy atmosphere to work in to start with, but given their management style, training and some of the weirdos that worked there I'm surprised Abbas didn't say "What are you wearing? Can you smell my cock?"

But he was Austrian?

BTW, what kind of company are we dealing with?

[Audley Strange]

Low rent outsourcing for customer services for Sky.

I suspect there's an opening in Sky tech. support if you want a second shot at it.

But he was Austrian?

Well yes, but that would have spoiled the joke.

From the article comments:

My German father-in-law...
...maintains that the Austrians are the cleverest people on the planet.

Why?
Because they've managed to convince the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German.

Five years working in directory enquiries cured me of ever wishing to work with the public again, unless it is driving a bulldozer of their corpses into pits filled with lime.

BSkyB, the most evil arm of Rupert Murdoch's evil empire.

Now you're speaking my kind of language.

[Audley Strange]

Yeah? Try suggesting that to your employment officer, seems the positions are few and far between and you have to work for some right dodgy bastards.

[Svartalf]

I hear there are positions in Syria right now.

[Audley Strange]

As I said, some right dodgy bastards.

Unless that bit's in German.
