Cee-Lo Green - 'F*ck You' live on Later with Jools Holland

Farmers think they are better than city folk. 1:14

MilkmanDan says...

In other news, Subway tells you to "eat fresh" (on ingredients shipped in from who knows where), Apple tells you to "think different" (as long as you brand of different doesn't include installing apps not approved by Steve Jobs), and Burger King lets you "have it your way" (as long as ~700 calories in a Whopper is OK).

Is New Holland a faceless corporation that will say literally anything that helps it ship more units? Yep. Just like everybody else.

This didn't seem particularly more egregious or arrogant than your average bit of advertising to me. Then again, I'm one of the "farm raised" people that they are targeting.

"Farm raised," eh?

[New Holland] was founded in 1895 in New Holland, Pennsylvania; it was acquired by Ford in 1986 and by Fiat in 1991, becoming a full line producer. Since 1999, New Holland is a Brand of CNH (NYSE: CNH) and part of the Fiat Group.
In 2009, CNH's net sales were approximately $12.8 billion, and their total number of employees were 28,450. (Wikipedia)

And I'm positive that everyone working the production lines in the factories, all the way up to the CEO and board of directors, are "farm raised."
You gotta love corporate propaganda.

Oh wait; no you don't.

So, as I expected Denmark lost their first match against Holland 2-0. They didn't deserve to win with that performance though, but it was expected.
Much more surprising, Italy tied with Paraguay. I didn't see the match though, was it even? Lucky goals?


Paraguay was very defensive, and only scored with a set piece where Italy made a defensive error. On the other hand Italy dominated possesion and play, but hardly managed to initiate good attacks on the paraguayan goal. All in all the draw is deserved for both teams.

Denmark had some good phases during the game, even had the better chances during the end of the first half. Can't blame them for playing pretty defensively against an offensive powerhouse like Netherlands. I still see Denmark going through as the 2nd team in that group, which would mean they could be paired with Italy in the first playoff round

Italy game was a bit dull, they weren't ambitious enough. Typical Italy though, you know they'll qualify.

Geert Wilders brilliant speech

Uncle_Vinnie says...

good analysis...

here is a selection of statements he made and for which he is currently being prosecuted:

Fitna(film)
"The Islam wants to conquer, subjugate and destroy our civilization. In 1945 Nazism was conquered, in 1989 Communism, and now we most conquer the Islamic ideology"
The movie show images of a future Holland as a Islamic country. A postcard of The Netherlands which s only shows minarets, a violent decapitation and images of terrorist attacks.

Volkskrant, 08-08-2007
"The root of the problem is the fascistic Islam, the sick ideology of Allah en Mohammad demonstrated in the Islamatic Mein Kampf: The Qur'an. The texts of the Qur'an leave little to the imagination."
as sanderbos said, referring to Mein Kampf is a big no-go in Western Europe.

"Ban that book (the Qur'an). Just like Mein Kampf!”
It is still illegal to sell Mein Kampf in the Netherlands. You are allowed to own it and trade it but not to buy it however.

De Pers, 13-02-2007
"Enough is enough. Close the borders, no more Muslims for the Netherlands, export as many as possible. Take away the Dutch passport of Muslim criminals"

Volkskrant, 07-09-2006
"Close the borders for non-western immigrants'
“We have to stop the tsunami of Muslims. It is a matter that touches our heart.”

>> ^sanderbos:
Well rougy,
Dutch 'liberal' here, not a Wilders fan.
The court case is completely ridiculous, of course he should be able to say what he wants, especially since he is a politician and has to be able to express things even if they defy laws (since politicians define laws), and because he represents a large constituency of Dutch voters (8 percent in last election, could be up to 30% according to some polls).
However, this speech, man he or his (famous) lawyer seemed to have cobbled together all divine phrases of free speech and wrapped them together in a nice little presentation. Anybody can put together a speech like this ("wasn't it Voltaire who said 'as much as I despise your opinion, I will defend your ability to speak it'" is a staple of such speeches, and no it wasn't Voltaire).
You must understand that Wilders' other thoughts include a tax of say (pinky to mouth) a thousand dollars per hijab (islam head scarf) to fix the economic crisis.
The situation on free speech in the Netherlands is super unclear. Because we are such a liberal free country, nobody really bothered/ bothers to ensure those rights are also legally documented. So on some fronts the freedoms of speech are very limited if prosecution occurs (almost yearly people are put in prison over making pretty tame references to the queen, giving somebody the finger is technically an offense).
In this particular case, the Dutch DOJ first decided not to sue, then some hippy who can't deal with anybody not agreeing him (Rene Danen) forces the DOJ to reconsider, if you read the verdict of that case you can see it is all about Nazi Germany references, a big no-no in the Netherlands (Wilders compares the Quran to Mein Kampf, as in both books that cause people to do bad things).
Anyway, this is just part of the whole Wilders big clown extravanganza show that is going on for years now. He is just making outregeous claims and getting in trouble everywhere to drum up support (actually I am most impressed by the way he does these things, as he does really little press or other public things yet gets the press to talk about him constantly). I think it is unclear what will happen if he gets into power (which probably won't happen all too soon, in part because of him the Dutch political landscape is superfragmented now, any coalition created in the next four years will be crazy enough without him in it).
