Was darf Satire?

Alles! In diesem Sinne: Pervers, verlaust und zoophil / Recep Fritzl Priklopil Der Kurden tritt und Christen haut / dabei stets Kinderpornos schaut. Oh Recep bist kein Freund der Menschen / im Kern der türkische Charles Manson Voll Niedertracht, voll nackter Angst / Wo kommt’s nur her? Ein kleiner Schwanz? Ein Minderwertigkeitskomplex? Statt echter Liebe Ziegen-Sex? Bist einsam und zutiefst verhärmt / Dein Staat so trist, so unmodern. Die Europäische Union / spricht offen von “dem Hurensohn” der Zeitungsredaktionen schließt / sich so die Beitritts-Chance vermiest. Ey, Deine Mutter ist so fett / ihr Arzt befand: Blutgruppe Mett. Dein Recep Tayyip Böhmermann

Hi 5 and welcome back to 40 awesome tips how not to give advice. This time we start off with a drinking advice. These are always very popular, like my favourite: Don't drink and drive. I take that very seriously, especially since I have been riding a bigger motorbike for years. There's very few cases in which I claim to have adapted to a zero tolerance policy. However this is one of those things, where the red line is pretty clear for obvious reasons. Back to 40 awesome tips, we have a suggestion to drink plenty of water, at least 2 litres each day. Sounds reasonable, you say? Why water? Why can't you drink 2 litres of tea, lemonade, coffee, milk, or anything that isn't hazardous to your health, i.e. basically non-alcoholic and sugar-free?

40 awesome tips of how consulting just doesn't work No wine this time, but enough expert advice to analize. Without further ado, here we go. Tip no 6 tells you not to take yourself too seriously, because no one else does. I guess the key word here is 'too', in the sense that you should avoid to leave a slightly conceited or even outright condescending impression. So to cut this short: I am going to follow the advice by not taking it too seriously and hereby implicitly admitting, that basically I concur :-) No, no, no! Envy is based on comparison . And comparison is not something to be afraid of . Actuall y comparison is good ! How come millions of common people read the rainbow press every day and at the same time they are supposed to deny the fact that people are envious by nature and actually enjoy wasting time being envious, sometimes even to a selfdestructive point. This contradiction might sound virtuous but really misses the point. Maybe competitvene...

Consulting vs Smart-ass-ing 40 awesome tips of how consulting just doesn't work Recently I was confronted with a page on Facebook, that made me realize, why being a consultant and being a know-it-all must be different things. The page '40 Awesome Tips For A Happy And Healthy Life' is a great example for very poor consulting because it misses the point and by its imperative has an air of bigheadedness. As Facebook is FTW and the page was in English, these following lines will be in English in subsequence. So let's grab a glass of fine wine and have ourselves a field day with 40 tips, of how consulting should work and how it shouldn't. 1st suggestion of 40 Tips is to take a jog every day for 10-30 minutes. Fist of all: you don't jog. You run. N ot everyone likes to run. Some people are not even able to run, let alone every day. Think about handicapped people, obese people, people who have lives, work or other restrictions that prevent t hem from hav ing ...
