Dirk Niebel and his "Edelprofil" on MeinVZ

MeinVZ is a German version of Facebook. Every famous politician has an “Edelprofil”, which does not mean, he or she is a better person. By the way: The person with most of the friends is the "politician" Horst Schlämmer, the invention of comedy star Hape Kerkeling. Horst Schlämmer is a little bit liberal, but also left-sided, and, not to forget, conservative as well.

But let's come to Dirk Niebel. At first, who is Dirk Niebel. Good question: Dirk Niebel is the secretary for development. The funny thing is, Dirk Niebel actually wanted to close this ministry, unless he became the secretary for development. As he is therefore listed  as an “Edelprofil”, he can use some more features. And of course Dirk Niebel makes use of it.

I can watch a “youtube”-video. Awesome, I mean, that is so nice for those people who forget the URL of youtube all the time, now they can watch the videos on MeinVZ. But that’s not the end of innovation. There is also a very very special webside: a link to the homepage of his dog. And for everybody, who is not impressed enough, I can also recommend his pictures: Dirk Niebel behind a speaker’s desk, Dirk Niebel behind a microphone and Dirk Niebel in front of a TV camera.

And on his “Pinnwand” are mainly insults and no controversial discussions. I don’t think there is a big benefit for German democracy, if people write on his wall about issues as Dirk Niebel’s “bedraggled fingernails”, or suits, which are too narrow. But as his profile hasn’t been updated for more than six months, and as there are no reactions on serious issues raised on his wall, the chaos on his wall is not such a big surprise.
Obviously, politicians as Dirk Niebel only care about their profile during election time.

P.S.: Only Guido Westerwelle and Christian Lindner have more fans than any other FDP-politician. But honestly, do you know any other FDP-politician?
