American Wrestling
So i spend my first weekend watching the high school state championship wrestle tournament in St. Louis, Missouri.
This event amazed me on two levels:
First of all - and i might just be ignorant about my own culture - i did not think that wrestling is such an highly esteemed sport anywhere in the world, except for Greece and Turkey maybe. But Americans love, and i mean love, this sport and i need to say it is quite a sport.
See the only time i've ever seen wrstling before - exept for this show wresting atuff - was in Turkey when wwe were there with Young Life. And there it was two grown, hairy man in loin cloths covered with oil all over wrestling on a meadow.
So it was quite impressive for me to see Americans - which we Germans consider so prude - to be engaged in a sport where two men are in constant close contact with nothing but two singlets between them.
The second thing that amazed me was that for a high school event this place was packed and highly organized. People paid $8 entrance fee for every day and - as you can see in the picture at the top - the location is a full blown stadium with the team's very own merchandise store. And all this for a high school sport team!!!

This is what comes to my mind when i hear the word wrestling:

Superheroes
So on my very first day in the States i stumbled over this:
Don't know about you, but this really cracked me up.
When will we have our Angela Merkel comic books folks?
At least she has (long) political story to tell...
This is a start but not quite it:
Ah well, next time Germany, vote for the looks again. Who cares about political programmes in a postmodern era in which deep down all politicians really just want the same?
