week 44

Another week has gone by and nothing newsworthy has happened over here. Jan Smit had an earinfection, Agassi's hair turned out to be fake and our prime-minister is rumoured to be asked for a high position in Europe. Whatever.
The only piece of information that holds the daily news hostage which is worth mentioning, is the Kinderen voor Kinderen riot. Apparently 16 (yes, sixteen) years ago this famous Dutch children's choir sang a song containing the words 'Allah Akbar' (this blog will now ruin my future career by merely mention this) in combination with Marocco, baklava and rijstevla (a custard-like substance). Now the PVV considers this indoctrination and unwanted propaganda of the islam by public television. Please bare in mind that this choir also sang tophits like 'on an unmanned island', 'mothers wish is law' and 'one leg on the curb'. Terrifying, right? I do have to say that the titles of my cultural youth heritage get lost in translation, I cannot find anything radical about it.
