The Intelligence of Google's Stupidity


So, I encountered this fascinating image in a newsreel (former Hitler Youth in E. Germany, at the end of WW2, dragging a swastika off to be burned).  I then entered that into Google image search to find out more about the actual scene (i.e. was this happening just before the Russians entered the city?  Or was it when they had already arrived and taken over?).  Which garnered me this:

"Sons of Silence" (a motorcycle club, ROTFL! *)

Now, the reason this intrigued me was because, unbeknownst to Google in its brainless mechanisms, actually thru the back door, it had made a fascinating connection:  in fact, the generation of the Hitler Youth became "sons of silence," a silence that was deafening.

[*Even more hilarious is the totally oxymoronic name for a group that rides around on thundering crotch rockets!]
