I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! But seriously, is this not what the NSA is paid to do?

- braythwayt 11y agoThe "I'm shocked, shocked" meme from Casablanca is most appropriate when the speaker is themselves hypocritically complicit in the wrongdoing being described. So... I think it's up to the German Minister of Security to say they are shocked, shocked that the USA is spying on the people Germany uses to spy on the US.

- braythwayt 11y agoGreat Strangelove reference! But I should be more clear. I'm not saying what you said isn't funny, it made me smile! I'm just trying to share that under certain circumstances, it's even truer to the original scene and thus funnier. :-)
