There really aren't very many of those people around. Well, unless you have your head stuck firmly in US soil.

Perhaps it is you who needs to get their head out of their . . .

Well anyways just look at one of these sites:

http://www.aol.co.uk/
http://www.aol.ca/
http://www.aol.de/
http://www.aol.fr/

AOL also exists in Germany. Heck, they even have a stadium of one the bigger soccer teams named after them.

No, it was "Die Religion ... ist das Opium des Volkes".

The phrase you're looking for is:
Du kannst mich ..." or Du kannst mich am Arsch lecken." (literally, you can lick me on my ass).

This is known as the "Götz-Zitat" (Götz Quote), because it shows up in Goethe's 18th century Sturm und Drang piece Götz von Berlichingen, in which Götz tells the emperor's messager, when told he should give himself up:
Götz: Vor Ihro Kaiserliche Majestät hab ich, wie immer, schuldigen Respekt. Er aber, sag's ihm, er kann mich - - - (Schmeißt das Fenster zu.)

[As always, I have the greatest respect for His Emperial Majesty. Tell him, however, that he can kiss my ass. (Slams the window shut)]

Note that the German source usually appears in its 'edited' form -- that is, with the " - - - " stuff.

SPK

Please, someone explain America On-Line: France, Austrailia, Germany, UK, and all of their other world ventures. I dunno, I think it'd be a little weird for me to sign up for Germany On-Line or something, so why doesn't it bother all of AOL's foreign customers?

Then again, everyone here in the US goes gaga for anything with a French name..

Unfortunately we cant get AOL in Europe

Perhaps not everywhere, but you can in the UK, France, and Germany at least.

AOL has no presence in Europe. Nor will it ever have one.

What about AOL UK, AOL Germany, AOL France , and AOL Sweden ?
