    Boobs are allowed on German TV to whole day ( movies with boobs are not higher than FSK 12). Boobs on TV are nothing special in Germany and sometimes you also see ( in some documentaries about humans or stuff like that but are sadly rare ^^ )

    DSF sucks… they nearly have no sports anymore… all they do is screwing the people with Call-In Shows (i don’t know if it’s also called like that in the usa) and showing naked women… the only sports they are airing these days are Poker and UFC (and both aren’t really seen as sports in Germany). But DSF (Deutsches Sport Fernsehen) means ‘German Sports Television’. Even soccer won’t be aired by the DSF in the next season.

    concerning the last thing:
    if you want to say that you don’t get it, you could say “ich raffs/raff(e) es nicht.”. raffen is as informal as “to get sth.” is.
