To begin with, he thinks Hamburg is an interesting city. Which kinda may be true if you never have visited a truely interesting city and are the easily satisfied type. In reality, Hamburg is a totally bland, uninteresting city which has the little creative appeal it might have had to Berlin 10 years ago. Now, it's just a sad mixture of non-ambitious wanna-be hipsters from Marktstrasse sipping their Latte Macchiatos and dreaming about moving to the center of their little world, Berlin, blended with a nice serving of Gucci-clad Glamourtards who act all Macho in their rent-a-ferraris they save months for to get for a day from Sixt. So Hamburg = yuk yuk.

Then the fact he's a muslim from Turkey (aka never-EU-land) and he does some unfunny Schtick like wearing Hakenkreuz-Symbols because "Bush is like Hitler" or something. For that alone he should be put to jail (in his home country). A german muslim being anti-american. Wow, how very original who would have thought he had that politard view on the world...?


That should put Akin's supposed talent and hipness in the right perspective. He might be world-famous in Germany, but in the international perspective, he's just another wanna-be loser touted by the marketards of the german movie industry, because they need to present some douchebag as the "new super talent that even got a call from Hollywood!!" evey other year.

Think about all those guys who came before him and their crappy movies...you don't even remember their names or movie titles, and they are condemned to live a miserable life making kitschy ZDF-Dramas and kissing Eichinger's backside for the rest of it.
