Carousel cars will not be banned in Osnabrück!

It's a wonderful time to get angry about car opponents, since they are throwing soup at glass panes in front of paintings and are currently sticking themselves on roads.
An old newspaper report that says that carousel cars, matchbox cars and bobby cars will be banned in Osnabrück is perfect for a politician. Wonderful excitement! The only problem is that the satirical article has been known for years.

The claim

In a photographed newspaper article under the heading “Carousel cars are now taboo” it can be read that from January 1, 2019, only models of bicycles, farm animals, carriages and local public transport vehicles can be permitted on carousels in Osnabrück.

A general ban on the sale of Matchbox cars and Bobby cars is also planned, but since this violates several state and federal laws, this cannot currently be implemented.

It is also reported that “motorized individual transport” is a concept from the day before yesterday. Children could see driving a climate-damaging racing car or exploiting wild animals as positive. In addition, the animal rights organization Peta should demand that horses, dogs and camels be removed from carousels.

The claim was of course also on Telegram .

As is often the case: the complete picture is important!

And this is actually meant literally here, because in January 2019, when the photo was first distributed , there were enough readers who photographed not just the one article, but the entire newspaper page - and there is also an indication in which frame the article was created:

Under the big heading " Till's New Year's Eve Punch and Lead Foundry " there are other bizarre articles: Perimeter advertising will now be allowed in the district court and a robot named Luna Pepper will now sit on the Osnabrück board of directors. Do you see where this is going?

An annual satire from the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung

“Till’s New Year’s Eve punch and lead foundry” is a satirical format from the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung. The newspaper explains in an article itself (see HERE ) that they do not publish the “New Year's Eve Punch” articles online so that they are not misused for false claims - which happened anyway thanks to the photo.

This is a satirical format that - similar to the “Postillon” portal - takes up much-discussed news and expands it - only with local content. “We sit down together and think about which events are particularly suitable for being exaggerated,” explains Rainer Lahmann-Lammert, editor of Neue OZ, who has coordinated the satirical site for decades. “I thought the carousel story was so over-the-top. The fact that this is now spreading so widely almost speaks for itself.”

Conclusion

So you should pay close attention to what is being spread in certain circles, because all too often a puffed-up outrage is nothing more than satire that is several years old and is only misused to spread sentiment against political opponents.
