Against my better judgment

...I'm linking to this story at the taz, which claims McDonald's is running some, um, promos in conjunction with Der Untergang. (See here) I am assuming this is a joke because the author invokes the Star Trek send-up (T)Raumschiff Surprise. But you know, sometimes it's hard to spot the irony in written German. Seriously.

there's nothing to worry about; the piece appeared on the page of the taz that is entitled "die wahrheit" and, consequently, contains everything but the truth. ;-) - also, the taz would probably not report this as matter-of-factly as they do if it were for real...
