What the hell is a Hitler thread?

[_Stretchie_]

I keep seeing "Hitler thread"

"Your Hitler thread"

"Your's is a Hitler Hitler thread"

I am obviuosly not down wiv da youf please explain

This is a hitler thread...

Basically its an old joke with the thing with hitlers bike (a youtube video), so many people posted it up in a month that it became a used phrase.

So basically it's a re-post.

unhelpful response number 1:

this isn't the first thread asking about hitler threads - therefore its a "Hitler what's a Hitler thread"

I did a search for Hitler in a thread title and didn't find one...

Does that make this a NINJA Hitler thread??

Nar, not so much those, more a funny link sorta thing, as in the guy that does a 360 burnout then his bike rides him and itself into another car.

Someone posts that up, then a week later, someone posts it up again.

Probably. I'm afraid I put irony before fact. You got me.

That Hitler video clip has been re-dubbed so many times for so many things I can see why the phrase came into play

ps: what the hells wrong with the GS! =p..apart from my short stubby legs not being able to reach the floor on em

To add a bit of meat to plowsies bones.

A Hitler post is one that contains content that has previously been posted by another.

Usually it contains a link to something the poster may find humorous or interesting and it is that link that has been previously posted.

It started after about the 20th person posted a link to the video of Hitler moaning about his beloved bike being replaced by a BMW and to stop people going off folloing an anonymous link, posters would put up the warning that it was Hitler bike to stop you wasting your time.

Now Hitler anything is a warning that it is a repost.

Cheers, I feel enlightened, I might even post another thread to see if it gets Hitler status

; )

Apart from that?

They cost too much
Spare parts cost too much
They're overly fiddly to replace bits on - it's almost as if BMW want you to take it to the garage instead of fixing it yourself.
They weigh too much
People in Eastern Europe try to nick your bike
People in Eastern Europe/northern asia won't stop touching your bike/trying to talk to you/get a ride on your bike even after youv'e just had a big accident
Russians seem to think that you've got loats of money so the traffic police extort bribes from you & the locals hold you up at knife point.

When I get a mo I'll add some more issues with the GS. Unless the question was rhetotrical?
