* In my opinion this is not embarrassing nor is the word stolen the correct one here. I personally couldn't care less, but I believe there are Austrians who view this differently.

Perhaps, the most embarrassing thing here is that the spelling of the word embarrassing in the title is incorrect. (jK no offense meant :D)

Aber das ist ja weder etwas das dem ganzen Volk widerfahren ist noch etwas was ein Politiker gemacht hat, also nicht wirklich etwas wofür sich ganz Österreich schämen müsste. Obwohl man sich natürlich generell nicht für Sachen schämen muss, die man nicht selbst gemacht hat. Das Ganze ist ein bisschen komisch.
