Jesus hates us all

I really, really don't want to be mean and poke fun of ordinary americans, who voted for George Bush. I mean, I disagree stongly with them, but it's their choice (and by the way, I'm very, very tired of "Bush is stupid" jokes/flash animations/movies/games. Please don't ever send me any of that again, thank you).

This letter to the editor from a guy called Earl is a bit far out and it might be a joke, but nevertheless, I believe, it explains why George Bush was elected again. I laughed when I fist read it, but it's really not funny at all.

I hope the election of George W. Bush is seen as a wake-up call to all the liberal Democrats who oppose God's will.

Did man ever set foot on the Moon?

There has been a lot of debate over the last decades about the alleged moon landings. I'm not sure how convincing this (new?) evidence is, but at least its something. And its fun too.

Single Orange Muppet

What if other popular movies were performed by puppets, Fark.com is asking. Here's the answer.

I love the Apocalypse Now, Single Orange Muppet and A Nightmare on Elmo Street posters.

Thank you Fark.com - you make it easier getting through a looong day at the office.

Armageddon in Kolding

Well, I did hear more on the Us election yesterday - I even talked about it - and my head did not explode. But in my hometown Kolding a fireworks factory exploded and devestated the neighbourhood of Seest.

My brother, who lives in the centre of Kolding, told me, that his whole apartment was shaking several times by the eksplosions.

My parents live about eight kilometers from the factory, and they told me, that the sound of the eksplosion was enormous even that far away.

Here's some pictures of the situation - from JyskeVestkysten, the local paper.

Meanwhile back in the rest of the world

US election blah blah blah... four more years blah blah blah... That election is everywhere and I think my head is going to explode if I hear anymore about it today. There are other things happening too, you know.

Yesterday I was visiting a Palestinian familie, that lives in Copenhagen. We were watching TV (they have 50 or 60 arabic channels!) and while we were doing that it was announced, that president Sheik Zayed of the United Arab Emirates had died, and soon it was top news on many of the channels. For my friends and for many other people from or in the Middle East that meant a lot, because Sheik Zayed was seen as a wise and generous leader and a friend of the Palestinian people. Most people in Denmark have never heard of him before and probably didn't pay any attention to the news of his death. I'm sure that goes for the rest of what we call the western world.

So, what's my point?

My point is, that there are huge differences between what is seen as important news from the view of people from one culture to people from another culture, who might live right next to each other. That means, that we often don't know anything about what is going on outside Europe and North America, and then when the shit hits the fan somewhere else on the planet, we go: What the fuck? Why are they doing that? Why was the fan started? And who threw that shit?

Out and about

Saturday night I went out to listen to some music. I don't get out as much as I'd like to, but this saturday I did.
I went to see the the Cologne-based Danish singer/musician Alice Rose perform at Barbarellah in the centre of Copenhagen. It was a positive experience - the place is quite funky and the music was good. Alice Rose's style is something like a mix of Björk, Moloko and Portishead. She's got a good voice and she's a good musician. Apparantly it was her first gig in Denmark.
At the venue this guy was selling his own indie-comic. I bought one because I love comics and becuse I like to support indie art and media. I liked the comic.

Lazy

I spend most of my working day in front of a computer, so why don't I post more often?
Don't know.
