Title: German radio starts Klingon service
Post by: aldo_14 on September 15, 2004, 08:11:06 am

The German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) is celebrating 10 years of its online service by adding a new language to the 30 it already publishes - Klingon. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3658310.stm)

Um.

"We should celebrate our 10-year presence in the online universe with a cross-border language."

and

"The Berlin Wall has fallen, the Cold War has ended and Klingons - once the sworn enemies of Star Trek hero Captain Kirk - are now accepted as allies in the new world order."

Underneath the humor, there's some serious political commentary in this.  Startrek 6 was straight out of newspaper headlines, the fall of klingon empire parralelling the fall of the soviet union.

You know, in a county in the state of Oregon, I've heard they are actually looking for Klingon translators. Why? Because a lot of crazy people will only speak that and not english.

I'd say that's a good reason to just build a very large wall up and around said country.
