More information regarding the applauding bear at Spreepark.
Hello again people of the civilized world! There have been so many questions about this Tier list that I published quite recently. You people out there have asked me about that A-Tier at Spreepark and I actually found an old photo of it. I took this photo when I was a Thälmannpionieer and here you can see the Arschklatschenbär (but is not klatschen on this picture because we were a bit shy and did not want to embarrass it):
Now you might think that this was just another bear living in a cage at a zoo but that is not true. I started to investigate this matter and what I will tell you now will send a burst of anxiety-driven reflections to our animal friends out there.
Not all bears are real bears.
This bear was actually working as an informant at Spreepark from 1969 until 1990 when he retired to a little shelter for former spies.
Here are some random notes taken by the Spreepark bear:
July 15, 1975 – Report No. 4567
“Around 2:30 p.m., I observed a family of four from Halle. The child (male, approximately 7 years old) dropped an entire scoop of ice cream (strawberry flavor, state-owned) on the ground. The mother laughed instead of scolding him. Suspicion of inadequate socialist upbringing and deliberate waste of public funds. No risk of escape was identified.”
August 22, 1982 – Report No. 7892
“A group of six adults (presumably from the state-owned enterprise ‘Red October’) consumed a total of 14 bottles of beer between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.” During the conversation, anti-socialist expressions like “damn shit” and “that’s disgusting” were used several times. One participant called Spreepark “too small for the whole of East Germany.” A hostile and negative attitude and possible influence from West German television were suspected.
June 9, 1987 – Report No. 10234
“Two teenagers (approximately 14 and 15 years old) deliberately threw ice cream wrappers into the Spreepark lake. They were listening to music from a cassette player (presumably a West German import). They used expressions like ‘shitty East Germany.’ The informant approached them under the pretext of performing a bear dance and was able to note the license plate number of their bicycle. Recommendation: Initiate an operational investigation.”
So now you know everything about this comrade bear.
Kind regards,
Günther Raubschaentze
