Beste Lowlanders,

If you're getting more than one million clicks in five days on Youtube, you
probably hit a nerve somewhere. The man in question is Tedros Teclebrhan, a
German actor of Eritrean descent. See for yourself:

YouTube - Umfrage zum Integrationstest (was nicht gesendet
wurde)<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcAN-Efb57I>

His native dialect is Swabian, but apparently he also masters Sächsisch. I
guess this doesn't refer to Saxon, but to some Middle German dialect in
Thuringia, isn't it?

Sometimes, he makes me think of a lesser Sacha Baron Cohen, but in the end
he did manage to make a whole bunch of people believe he wasn't faking it
(cf. comments)...wonderful.

Kind greetings,

Luc Hellinckx, Halle, Belgium
