It Would Totally Suck To Go To College In Germany This Week

This is more or less the most socialist thing to come out of Germany ever, aside from, well, the whole Iron Curtain thang. The government shut down the entire German Wikipedia for two days after an article said political figure Lutz Heilmann was "sending threatening text messages to his ex-partner and stated that Heilmann was about to lose his diplomatic immunity. There have indeed been rumors that Heilmann is under investigation by the German parliament because of these reports, though other statements in the article about the questionable status of his college degree and his involvement in an online pornography venture are rather questionable."
But now it's back! Which is good for me, since I have a presentation about post-WWII Germany for my German 104 class tomorrow. Thank god it wasn't "Aufwiedersehen" to Wikipedia!
