>>In germany theiy raid your home for harmless political satire)

Can you give some examples so we can see what harmless political satire you have in mind?

Andy Grote comes to mind. Someone tweeted "Du bist so 1 Pimmel" (something like "you are such a willy") at him. Got his house searched and everything for that.

Issue here being the fact that insulting someone is a criminial offense (hope that's the correct english terminology) in Germany.

e:/ Whether this is actual satire or not is up for debate i guess, but this was in my opinion way overblown

> "Du bist so 1 Pimmel" (something like "you are such a willy")

Sure, it's something like that, but it's more like "thou beest such a willy". ;D
