Translated from German, this means "They are among us!" and it's a slogan the German SciFi channel has been using. And just to prove that every country is cooler than we are, they ran this commercial: Now don't get me wrong-- I love me some Sharktopus -- but I wish we had more TV ads like this one. Awesome. And, of course, highly logical. There are others, too, like this one, and this one, and this one, and this one which made me seriously LOL. I love being a geek.
