Kind of not connected but on the same topic :-

I was totally surprised when I realised my boss didn't know there was Nazis in The Sound of Music.

I mean -- who doesn't know there are Nazis in The Sound of Music? That's like something EVERYONE knows? How is there someone who doesn't know that?

But no -- he was genuinely surprised when the Nazis arrived.

This reminds me of a podcast (an episode of This American Life maybe) where one of the reporters talks about being surprised when someone mentions Nazi’s in The Sound of Music because they only ever saw up to the intermission and thought that was the entire movie.

Its like the old adage goes: "Those that forget history are doomed to be surprised there are Nazis in Austria in 1938"

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
