You may have noticed that "Du bist Deutschland" has been the top search on Technorati for some time. Non-German-speaking readers likely aren't familiar with what's going on in the German blogosphere, so let me see if I can explain a bit.
A PR campaign has been going on for quite awhile in Germany with the slogan "Du bist Deutschland." The campaign has been quite controversial in Germany. Among other things, someone found a photo from around 1935 of Nazi propaganda using a similar phrase. As far as I can tell, this blog post is the discoverer of the photo (Correction: it was first discovered on a forum.). Also, see this post for some more background (in English).
All of this controversy has been going on since at least last November, but has been re-ignited lately. Last week, Jean-Remy von Matt, an executive at the organization running the campaign sent an email to his colleagues, which was soon posted to a blog by Jens Scholz (English translation on Jens' blog).
The second point of the email refers to blogs and has a another English translation on Scott Hanson's blog.
In short, he called blogs the "bathroom walls of the Internet." And bloggers "people who only exude*." As evidence for this filthiness, he suggests that people put "Du bist Deutschland" into technorati.com to see what bloggers have said about the campaign. As a result of this, a large number of people have been searching for "Du bist Deutschland" on Technorati.
For more explanation, see also Der Spiegel's take on this controversy.
* It appears the German word used here, absondern is a derogatory term for sharing one's thoughts, which can be translated as 'exude' or as one several coarser verbs.
