The stench of reason
Holland is a pristine country. Full of fair folk breastfed until the age of four, and thenceforth sustained on a diet of bikes, cheese and hardcore porn.
No repression exists, and all demonstrations of imagination are militaristically encouraged until such time as the entire world learns to segregate its fields and mix-up its sexual encounters.
Holland is cool, man.
And they play all music videos without cuts, edits and bleeps (unless intentional) - and it's not cos people don't get the semantic import of 'fuck' or whathaveyou....it's cos they're cool, they don't think that talking about fucking is the same thing as condoning it in all its repressed nastiness. Of course, you could argue that taking the sting outta sex would, er, take the sting out of sex. But, hey, they do ok.
Excess in moderation! Let a thousand tulips bloom.....
