Still, episode fourteen worked well enough for me - After a brief segment featuring Italy escaping from Germany to go and chat up women, we enter a wonderful "German simulator" spoof advertisement, for a game that allows you to "enjoy" the frustrations of being a German in everyday life. In all honesty this simulator could have been subtitled "Why the European Union will never work", being as it was largely a broader coverage of pan-European foibles and stereotypes, including an appearance from Spain and Greece which left me complaining "that just isn't true" inbetween my giggles. "If you buy it now it comes with special shocking images for free!" was the icing on the cake that really cracked me up. If only every episode of Hetalia was like this, for this particular instalment was a thoroughly entertaining five minutes.
