Oktoberfest in pictures - General

On Saturday, September 18th, with the tapping of the first keg by Munich Mayor Christian Ude and a cry of "O'zapft is!", Oktoberfest 2010 officially started in Munich, Germany. While this year marks the 177th Oktoberfest to be held, 2010 is the 200th anniversary of the very first Oktoberfest in 1810 (some years were missed due to war or cholera outbreaks). The Oktoberfest tradition started in 1810 to celebrate the October 12th marriage of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The citizens of Munich were invited to join in the festivities which were held over five days on the fields in front of the city gates. This year, festivities will run until October 4, 2010. Collected here are a few images from this opening weekend. Its a copy pasta....if you noticed........And if only we had such a big and wonderful festival...........

I hate the whole thing, makes it look like alcohol is a nice drug and such. Yeah let's get our kids to be drunk all day, who cares if they die in car accidents? Now don't tell me people there keep an eye on how drunk they are. :colbert:

I can't stand the fact that alcohol is more tolerated than let's say cannabis as an example, which has been on the world since 2000 before christmas, while alcohol is a few hundred years old. Not to mention it's less harmful. I didn't offend anyone, just stated my opinion. If you got a problem with that, then you're wrong on the internet. Freedom of speech.

shit looks fun yo.
