Berlin seemed like a nice place when I was there, briefly.

I did accidentally desecrate the Jewish Holocaust Memorial, which was a slightly awkward moment.

WTF

WHAT’D YOU DO

Hold on, let me try to find a photo of it.

OK, so you can see that it’s not what you’d call figurative?

yes...

In fact, it looks an awful lot like a collection of large stepping stones.

oh my god

Particularly at midnight, in the dark, when you’re pissed.

In my defence, there was no signage along the lines of “Do Not Step on the Jews”.

you went to the holocaust museum drunk?

It’s not a museum. And why would I go to a museum:
a) drunk, and
b) at midnight?

memorial i mean

you went to the holocaust memorial, drunk?

this is so offensive

It’s just in a very large open area -- well, open apart from all these stepping stones -- en-route from here to there. There being a pizza place just up the road.

I didn’t get a skinful and then shout “Last one to the top of the Holocaust Memorial’s a gypsy!” or anything.

oh my god.

Anyway, I felt quite bad about it after it became apparent what the stepping stones actually were.

In fact, I think we all felt a bit guilty.

youv’e offended every single member of my family

Not as guilty as the Germans, clearly.

i just pasted this to jen

she is so offended

Which bit?

the whole thing.

You know, I think my work here may be done.

you’ve offended my heritage and culture

you went to the holocaust memorial, drunk.

Get away, you eat pork.

Lewis: Besides, I didn’t go there drunk. I encountered it, whilst drunk. Big difference. If anything, it’s just bad town planning. I blame the Berlin municipal authorities.

it seems you’re good at something-- being an anti-semite

They could have built this anywhere. It’s not like we didn’t give them a blank slate to work with after 1945, the only thing left standing was the Luftwaffe headquarters. And instead they chose to build it next to a pizza place. I mean, seriously, that is so offensive to your culture and heritage.

jews like pizza

Tweeted.

You’re not actually offended are you? I mean, it was a genuine mistake. Amusing, admittedly, but not malicious.

nah, i knew you were an insensitive asshole

Excellent. I’m glad we understand each other. I’m an insensitive asshole, and you’re a Jew.

Note the capitalisation. I respect your beliefs.
