On a meta-level, he reflects media and social criticism. Right from the start, Böhmermann takes aim at classic satire formats such as "Heute show" and "Extra 3": they are really tough to beat, he says, while he himself is just making a nonsense show. And he once again makes fun of the easily overexuberant German media public, which lebanon rcs data was already completely beside itself after the Erdogan song. Bizarre twist: Because the waves were so high because of his defamatory poem, he stayed away from the Grimme Prize, which he received for an action that also caricatured the media industry and involved the middle finger given by the then Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis.
In March 2015, Günther Jauch insulted the minister on his talk show by suggesting that this gesture showed his attitude towards Germany, and he played a two-year-old YouTube video. The Varoufakis finger became the topic of all talks overnight. by claiming that his "Neo Magazin Royale" had tricked Jauch and slipped him a fake film. The confusion was total.
