Television

Danish television is about as bad as Italian, though many men would consider Italian TV to be much better as they do have quite many beautiful girls with minimum of clothing presenting game shows, weather forecast, news, boxing, motor programs or whatever they show. In Danish TV there is practically only American crap. I wonder if George Bush has called our prime minister and said that if you don't fill the national television with American crap, we will erase the Queendom of Denmark from earth. And for national security's sake has Anders Fogh made this conspiracy with all the TV bosses.

(Is this Italian or Danish television ? Click for a bigger picture if in doubt. )

Apropos Anders Fogh, I am quite disappointed. Every month I deliver half of my salary to you, and while sharing the same flight to Nice some weeks ago, you didn't even give a cup of coffee. Wasn't it you that said "Noget for noget" ?

Luckily I have about 100 French tv-channels (for once I do not exaggerate !) at home, though not much time to see them. But I manage often to get my daily dose of "Un gars, une fille", wonderful chauvinistic French humour, an occasional French policier and even once in a while French synchronized American crap, "Grey's anatomy". We also have this show in Danish television but the so called "original" voices appear very strange and wrong to my ear now. Infact I suspect that this show is originally French and has been synchronized to English in other countries. The funny thing is that French television shows considerabely more Danish films or Danish series than the Danish TV shows French ones but let's just blame it on Mr Bush.

There is also some media law in Denmark that forbids the radio stations to play any foreign language music if it isn't in English. Luckily there are now tons of webradios and my favourite is definetely Cheriefm Frenchy. But I also know that my influence to my kids is getting smaller every day. They are bombarded with Anglo-Saxon music at school and at "SFO" every day, and even I still can say that my son's favourite music video is Renan Luce's "Les voisines" (recommended to any Hitchcock fan) and my daughter's Pauline's "Allo le monde", I can hear Justin Timberlake approaching with terrifying speed.
