    Why is Marvel’s Leader giving an apparently Mexican David Axelrod the business?

  2. Eduard van Haalen   13 years ago

    Siesta? Can’t Bok at least get his ethnic stereotypes straight?

    1. Ska   13 years ago

      He got the eyebrows and the moustache….

      1. Lord Humungus   13 years ago

        needs more sombrero

  3. kigdafig   13 years ago

  4. Almanian's Evil Twin   13 years ago

    That’s racist, straight up.

    Therefore, +2

  5. Bill Dalasio   13 years ago

    Siesta? Greece? Am I missing something? Or is this just a REALLY unfunny cartoon?

  7. NotSure   13 years ago

    This stereotype does reinforce the other stereotype about Americans being clueless about the world.

  8. Stormy Dragon   13 years ago

    Also, doesn’t Greece work longer hours on average than Germany? Greece’s problem is lousy productivity, not short working hours.

    1. Stormy Dragon   13 years ago

      So yeah, looked it up:

      http://farm3.static.flickr.com…..1cd0_o.png

      Germany has one of the shortest average work weeks in the world (27 hours) and Greece has one of the longest (41 hours).

      1. Kaptious Kristen   13 years ago

        27 hours?!?! I think it may be time to play my German ancestry card and get my ass over there for some sweet sub-30 work weeks.

        1. Stormy Dragon   13 years ago

          Note that’s the average over the course of the year, so it’s probably more a reflection on how much more vacation they get then having a shorter work week per se.

  9. PapayaSF   13 years ago

    A joke I liked:

    A German arrives at Athens airport and is interviewed by a customs official.

    Official: “Occupation?”

    German: “Nein, vacation.”

  10. joy   13 years ago

    Note that’s the average over the course of the year, so it’s probably more a reflection on how much more vacation they get then having a shorter work week per se.

  11. free running shoes   13 years ago

    air line, a technique of personal pods supposedly listening for different areas of your foot. Nike Air inside the 1990s, which was observed through the bottom inside the shoe (although modest amounts of Air units visible in the base of many Air Max types) and the planting period air and the different other is a small consumer profile and highly vulnerable Zoom Air The symbols in the spring air may be the Design 1993, the first completely visible into the back again heel Air unit that is visible over the back again again and sides.could boost the use of air circulation springs jumping prospective and quickness.
