Eu sou um Donut
A propósito do famoso discurso “Eu sou um Berlinense”, que o Presidente Kennedy fez em Berlim no dia 26 de Junho de 1963, e que o Gabriel referencia no Blasfémias, achei oportuna a transcrição deste comic bit.
Back in the 60s, President Kennedy became the President of the United States of America, and he we went to Berlin, stood on the Berlin wall and he said, “People of Berlin, I have come to you to tell you something about the American states. I sound a bit like God, don't I? Yes. But I have come to say to you that every free citizen of the world is a citizen of Berlin. And I wish to say to you, 'Ich bin ein Berliner.' " And the crowd went fucking wild!
Trouble is, "Ich bin ein Berliner" means "I am a donut," and... This is true, and this is what he said, he said "I am a donut!". Because "Ich bin Berliner" is "I am a Berliner." But "Ich bin ein Berliner," is - that's the name of a donut they have there.

And it's like going to Frankfurt : "I am a Frankfurter!". Hamburg - "I am a Hamburger, too!". Lucky he didn't do a tour of Germany, eh? "I am a Hamburger, a Frankfurter, and a donut."
But the people in Berlin must've gone,
"What did he say?"
"He said he was a donut!"
"I thought he said he was a donut too!"
"So what does that mean?"
"It's a slang! It's American! He's a donut! He's a fucking donut. I think that's what it must mean.”
