I know this is slightly off topic. But I think it strikes at the heart about the ideal of Esperanto. I saw this today on facebook:
Germany: Hello guys, I'm new here. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Deutchland

France: Mais oui, mon ami! You have such a lovely name. Allemange, it just rolls off the tongue.

Germany: No, that doesn't even sound like it.

England: Of course not, France. He very clearly said his name is Germany.

Italy: Close England, it's Germania, There's an A at the end.

Germany: No, there's no A at the end....Okay let me start over, I'll say it again slowly.....

Finland: What's up with Saka?

Germany: My name is not Saka!!!

Poland: Of course not. Your name is is Niemcy, right?

Germany: How are you all getting it wrong in completely different ways?

Denmark: What's bugging Tyskland?

Lithuania: Who's Tskland? You talking about the new guy? I'm pretty sure his name is Vokietija.

Germany: No, no.... listen one more time... It's DETCHLAND. DEUTCH....LAND

Zamnbia: OK I got it now. Ujerumani.

Germany: Yeah, sure, Fine. Whatever. I don't care anymore.

Japan: Doitsu?

Germany: Well at least YOU tried.

I'm wondering if this is from the manga "Hetalia". The international nature of it would make it a really good material to translate into Esperanto...

Funny.

At least the Japanese with doits and the Italian with tedeschi (the people, not the country) are making an effort.

Deutchland, funny name, sort of reminds me of the country named Deutschland.

robbkvasnak:Mein Name ist Hase - ich weiß von nichts!
Hmm. Google translate is not my friend. I got:

'Bugs Bunny - I know nothing!'

That' funny because Bugs Bunny says in German actually: Mein Name ist Hase, ich weiß bescheid.
