Amerika (song)
"Amerika" is a song by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein. It was released on 6 September 2004 as the second single from their fourth studio album, ''Reise, Reise'' (2004). The song peaked at number 2 in Germany and entered the top 5 in Austria, Denmark, and Switzerland. Content The song deals with the worldwide cultural and political imperialism of the United States of America. The song's text and most video images point unambiguously toward a critique of America's cultural imperialism, political propaganda and self-assumed role as global police force. The two verses are sung in German with a chorus in Denglisch: ''We're all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We're all living in Amerika, Amerika, Amerika'' and ''We're all living in Amerika, Coca-Cola, sometimes war''. The band views it as a satirical commentary on Americanization, and the lyrics refer to such things considered American as Coca-Cola, Wonderbra, Santa Claus, and Mickey Mouse. Uncharacteristicall ...

Amerika (miniseries)
''Amerika'' is an American television miniseries that was broadcast in 1987 on ABC. The miniseries inspired a novelization entitled ''Amerika: The Triumph of the American Spirit''. ''Amerika'' starred Kris Kristofferson, Mariel Hemingway, Sam Neill, Robert Urich, and a 17-year-old Lara Flynn Boyle in her first major role. ''Amerika'' was about life in the United States after a bloodless takeover engineered by the Soviet Union.Lometti, Guy "Amerika", in Horace Newcomb, ''Encyclopedia of Television''. London, Routledge, 2005. (pp. 104–105) Not wanting to depict the actual takeover, ABC Entertainment president, Brandon Stoddard, set the miniseries ten years after the event, focusing on the demoralized U.S. people a decade after the Soviet conquest. The intent, he later explained, was to explore the U.S. spirit under such conditions, not to portray the conflict of the Soviet coup. Described in promotional materials as "the most ambitious American miniseries ever crea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

USS America (ID-3006)
USS ''America'' (ID-3006) was a troop transport for the United States Navy during World War I. She was launched in 1905 as SS ''Amerika'' by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the Hamburg America Line of Germany. As a passenger liner, she sailed primarily between Hamburg and New York. On 14 April 1912, ''Amerika'' transmitted a wireless message about icebergs near the same area where RMS ''Titanic'' struck one and sank less than three hours later. At the outset of the war, ''Amerika'' was docked at Boston; rather than risk seizure by the British Royal Navy, she remained in port for the next three years. Hours before the American entry into World War I, ''Amerika'' was seized and placed under control of the United States Shipping Board (USSB). Later transferred to the U.S. Navy for use as a troop transport, she was initially commissioned as USS ''Amerika'' with Naval Registry Identification Number 3006 (ID-3006), but her name was soon Anglicized to ''America''.

''Amerika'' (russian: "Америка") was a Russian-language magazine published by the United States Department of State during the Cold War for distribution in the Soviet Union.

Amerika Bomber
The ''Amerikabomber'' () project was an initiative of the German Ministry of Aviation (''Reichsluftfahrtministerium'') to obtain a long-range strategic bomber for the ''Luftwaffe'' that would be capable of striking the United States (specifically New York City) from Germany, a round-trip distance of about . The concept was raised as early as 1938, but advanced plans for such a long-range strategic bomber design did not begin to appear before ''Reichsmarschall'' Hermann Göring until early 1942. Various proposals were put forward, but these plans were all eventually abandoned as they were too expensive, too reliant on rapidly-diminishing materiel and production capacity, and/or technically unfeasible. Background According to Albert Speer's book, '' Spandau: The Secret Diaries'', Adolf Hitler was fascinated with the idea of New York City in flames. In 1937, Willy Messerschmitt hoped to win a lucrative contract by showing Hitler a prototype of the Messerschmitt Me 264 that was being ...

Amerika, Saxony
Amerika () is a former company settlement in the German state of Saxony and a district of the town of Penig. As a small village of 79 residents (2010), it is known merely for its name, the German word for America, which was given to it in the 19th century. In 1836, a spinning factory was built on the left bank of the river Zwickauer Mulde, but houses for workers and clerks were not built until 1870. Initially, because a bridge was only built much later, workers and visitors coming from the right bank of the river had to cross the water using stepping stones or boats to access the place. As "crossing the pond" in those times was chiefly understood as emigrating to America, the factory was named "Amerika" by the local population. The name became official in 1876 (incidentally, the centennial of the United States of America) when the village's railway station was named "Amerika". The factory was closed in 1991. Amerika was part of Arnsdorf until 1993 and, together with the latter, b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Satiric Misspelling
A satiric misspelling is an intentional misspelling of a word, phrase or name for a rhetorical purpose. This can be achieved with intentional malapropism (e.g. replacing ''erection'' for ''election''), enallage (giving a sentence the wrong form, eg. "we was robbed!"), or simply replacing a letter with another letter (for example, in English, '' k'' replacing '' c''), or symbol ('' $'' replacing '' s''). Satiric misspelling is found widely today in informal writing on the Internet, but is also made in some serious political writing that opposes the status quo. ''K'' replacing ''c'' In political writing Replacing the letter ''c'' with ''k'' in the first letter of a word was used by the Ku Klux Klan during its early years in the mid-to-late 19th century. The concept is continued today within the group. For something similar in the writing of groups opposed to the KKK, see , below.
