This week, while Ross is in the mountains of Mexico training for his new role as a Cracked columnist, we’re counting down our favorite Nooners from five to one. Coming in at number four is a post that probably marks the closest the Cracked Blog has ever come to starting an international incident. The comic shown fondling a child in the clip issued this poorly translated statement a day after Ross’s post went popular on Digg. Ross took the high road and didn’t respond. Or he forgot. Either way, this video is creepy.
Totally Normal Entertainment From (What Looks Like) Eastern Europe
I’ve traveled extensively through Eastern Europe, and I’ve noticed that the people there are really eager to share their customs with outsiders. Whether it’s the proper way to take a shot of the local liquor without going blind, the etiquette of bribing a local police officer to get your wallet back, or the cheapest way to transport your new and lovely bride back to America (cargo ship), the charming local people of Eastern Europe are only too happy to help.
But this kindness extends to more than just basics like alcohol, police corruption and the flesh trade. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Eastern Europeans will go out of their way to explain a joke to complete strangers - even, as luck would have it, if that stranger is wearing a fanny pack and a “These Colors Don’t Run” t-shirt. Eastern Europeans have a strange sense of humor, but they’re usually more than willing to let you in on the joke.
For example, one time I was in Estonia and decided to go see some live theater. During the play, a small boy walked out onto the stage, and all the other thespians (full-grown men) crowded around him and started poking him with long staffs while giggling like little schoolchildren. Baffled, I turned to a woman next to me and asked her what it was all about. As luck would have it, she spoke English.
“The boy,” she explained, “represents Estonia, and the men around him represent the encroaching influence of Russian culture.” That made sense so I left it at that. Then I left during intermission and vowed to never go see theater in Estonia again.
Another time I was in a small town in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia, and there was a crowd gathered around a man performing in the town square. Draped in chainmail and furs, he sang an upbeat song and danced around a bit. Then he asked for a volunteer from the crowd, and a young boy stepped forward to applause. The man went on singing his song and dancing about, and then he put his hand down the boy’s pants and the entire crowd burst into laughter.
Horrified, I turned to an older woman next to me and asked, “What’s the joke there?”
As luck would have it, the woman spoke English (what are the odds in Prekmurje?!). “The man represents the Ostrogoths who once pillaged our land.”
“And the boy?!” I asked. “What does he represent?”
“The land,” she said.
I guess the moral of the story is “Eastern Europeans like political humor.”

I’m Dutch. Hey, remember when we had that political party/movement that wanted to lower the age of consent to 12 years old, often referred to as the “pedo-party”?
(If it’s a comfort to the people from other countries: as far as I know they don’t exist anymore. Not enough voters I suppose.)

First of all, to all you stupid Americans, that show is from Mexico, and the host’s name is Esteban Sanchez. The performer happens to be his wife, who has a medical condition that has left her looking like a pre-pubescent boy.
Stupid, judgemental Americans and your stupid humor websites that make fun of what appears to be a foreign tv show where a grown man repeatedly kisses the neck and cheek of a young boy on his lap. How dare you!

“Most of Europe wants the world to be Christian and want everyone who isn’t christian or white to be dead.”
What? Surely Europe is quite liberal and secular at this point, certainly compared to parts of the US.
And why is this comments section about national pride and identity? Shouldn’t it really be about the far more alarming issue of the (very real and in no way only Dutch) paedophilia?
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:54 am
“Pedophilia. The witch-hunt of the 21st century. Why are so damn many Americans never ever ever happy unless they’re accusing SOMEONE of SOMETHING, guilt already firmly presumed and there’s not a god-damn thing you can say to ever convince them otherwise?”
This video is disturbing and totally inappropriate. The sexualisation of children is wrong, and it is appalling to see it televised and laughed at in this way. It’s disgusting. Nothing can be said to convince me otherwise; I’m not presuming anything if it’s been broadcast on TV and I’ve seen it; and I’m not American.

It’s amazing how many people don’t get that the entire article was clearly a joke. Wolinsky was clearly exaggerating pretty much all of it for comedic effect. I get so tired of these goddamn nationalistic pissing contests I almost wanna stop reading the comment section, too bad some of it can be so damn funny…
May 20th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Hell yeah they’re guilty, we wouldn’t be accusing them of something unless they were.

As a Dutchman, I am both filled with pride and embarrasment for my countrymen. Pride that that they defend our country so vigorously, and embarrasment that they do it so viciously. And frankly, that we are so well represented here…
Even more hilariously so because if they hadn’t stirred up the hornet’s nest nobody would even figure it out it even WAS Dutch..
May 12th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
To all offended Europeans on this site:
Please stop leaving comments addressing how all Americans make generalizations about your country. It makes you look like a hypocrite and a condescending douche, and it sounds ridiculous when irony is what made the article funny.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:10 am
[...] Ever since this whole War on Terror thing started, America has been slowly and steadily falling behind the rest of the world. Our money is worthless, our economy is in the shitter, and our standing as the leading global economic superpower is waning. Meanwhile Western Europe is sighing and shaking its collective head, China is too busy toiling around the clock like some crazy 1.3 billion-member ant colony to even notice, and the Dutch are sitting around laughing at pedophilia… and self-righteously defending their national identity on the internet… [...]

Blleugh..could NOT watch the whole thing,actually made me a little nauseous. Comedy notwithstanding,that shit should make any person with a speck of empathy uncomfortable.
For a more contemporary european commentary on paedohiles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2inkaSU8Hs
from a norwegian youth-oriented animated film;apparently the song accompanying the animation is about this little kid from Thailand who not only has to support his flock of younger siblings,but also has to do so by,amongst other things,seeing his “boyfriend” at night in exchange for cash. The point of the song as I understand is for the kids on the bus to Please Try to put a little Perspective on their own lives..I doubt the meaning of the sarcasm/social commentary would be lost on any of todays super-sexually enlightened youth.Also,you gotta love that cotton-ball-head animation…
On a side-note..Stuart Hannig says: Most of Europe wants the world to be Christian and want everyone who isn’t christian or white to be dead.
How right you are Stuart..and now you also know from whence came the U.S’s predominant cultural trait…
May 7th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Ok now I come from prekmurje too and I am letting the possibility that this happened but… What are the odds of too very similiar “shows” happening in so unsimiliar countries.
You are truly an idiot if you think that almost nobody in Prekmurje speaks english. Almost 82% of people in Prekmurje are at least bilingual, and more than 62% speak english. Those are the facts you dumbass.
And if you would be more informed about things you would now that Slovenia is currently holding presidency of the European Union and if that would happen some serious shit would be going on.
Also the first time I heard about this crap but… as my colleague above said 1. judge your own country. Especially if you are from America.
May 7th, 2008 at 4:53 am
Just for the record u assholes. I live in Prekmurje and we don’t have stupid shows reprisenting someone and some country. Like u said.. And what are the odds in Prekmurje u say??? Damn where do you come up with this stuff? Prekmurje is very small and the word goes around here very quickly.. there is not lots going around here.. So stop making stuff up… Just look at your great Amerika or where ever you come from… You travel round and judge other countries.. First judge your own.. you will see it’s allot more fu***d up than any other…

Ok this argument is so stupid……. look, some americans are rascist and ignorant, so are some dutch people.
I am not going to make any judgements, but saying that this needs to be put into context……and comparing it to cracked, the guy is touching a kid. For me that crosses a line. And as for comments about drug usage in amsterdam and americans shock at frontal nudity in commercials, it is just different and not how we percieve things. If you were raised your entire life told that alcohol was evil and it was illegal, wether you knew that was wrong or not it would still be different to come to an american bar.
And one last thing, I don’t see any american comments making stereotypes about windmills or wooden shoes, only dutch people bashing us for believing that. do you really think we believe that crap? If so you are the rascist ones.
Don’t bother arguing with me I won’t be back to read it, I hope I made my point.
Btw these comments are comedic gold!!! They put the blog to shame.

omfg….the video was fifteen fucking years ago, things are fucking different nowadays. Theres no fucking argument over the fact that this is wrong today. But things were different back then. And honestly…that thing with madeline? What kind of parents leave a young kid like that alone in an apartment. Fucking irresponsible. and thank god the parents are rich to make the rest of the world care…its not like kids get kidnapped all the time, right? wheres the fcking advertisement for all the others.

I don’t give a crap load of what any of you sick turds have to say. This pie-loving sh!thead is a pedophile. He and his partner adopted 2 boys a few years ago, poor kids. This guy needs to be investigated and those poor boys should be taken away from this freak. Art? Comedy? No, I’m not buying it and anyone who does is just disgustingly nasty. I hope that those poor boys have not been abused in any way. Oh, and for the pp who said that the kid got a bicycle out of it: Please! So, it’s ok to feel up little boys if the boy gets a bicycle in the end? His parents ought to be ashamed of themselves for allowing that. The audience is full of a bunch of perverts for laughing and cheering this guy on. I hope this fat turd gets locked up.
God you’re an idiot…remove that huge stick out of your goddamm ass! you’re all talking about a video that happened 15 GODDAMM years ago. If you have no possibility to see the dutch media and if you havn’t been following it for 20 years than wtf are you whining about!? stop making a big deal about a few mins of 15 year old footage. Americans are stuck up…i know some americans (friends of the family) who were shocked to see frontal nudity in an ad…and i’m not saying thats all americans but i’m not surprised to see people react like its a horrible crime. if you think its funny LAUGH, if you think its distasteful SAY it. Dont be bitching that he should be locked up and shit….that means you’re ignorant and you’re talking about shit you don’t know. This is a show on television…although it crosses a line its f*cking far from what pedophiles do to kids.
And bashing him because of his weight sexuality and the fact that he adopted two kids….way to be tolerant! f*cking prick.

Me and my friend broke up a Nazi demostration. We kicked the hell out of them. Just like we did some Islamic Extremism people.”
Maybe you should stay in school and bone up on your english before you decide to tell me how much I love my city. Comments like yours are only hurting our “cause”, whatever that may be at this point.
“The people in Amsterdam loves their own city the most of Holland.”

The boy was in on it whole time!!! He knew exactly what was going to happen in advance and agreed to play along. He got ‘paid’ with a new bicycle for his appearance on the show. Recently he was on again, and he and Paul de Leeuw are still good friends. Paul de Leeuw is actually one of the few people in the Netherlands who isn’t afraid to openly discuss ‘taboo’ issues. And he is definitely NOT a pedophile.

As for the US is awesome verses Europe is awesome (and don’t give me any of that Europe is a continent not a country crap, we all know like most European countries are EU members) type of comments, well, thats religion too. See, now that the world has secularized a lot, thinking that your country is so awesome is the new religion. As for people being pricks about it, well:
Cracked did have an article on religions that worship the prick. So there. ps– USA, USA, USA, everyone else sucks, everyone else sucks, USA, USA. America! Fuck yeah!

First of all…our priest don’t touch our children on a bad way. In America they does. At least we don’t go to Irak for no reason. We call football football…you guys call a sport where you throw the ball to eachother FOOTball, cant believe it.
You guys see Holland as everyone walks around on wooden shows (’klompen’ is Dutch), we’re not living in Windmills (just a little few, about 5000 out of 16.500.000 people) and not everybody smokes the shit out of him! well, I do but I think there are only 250.000 outof 16.500.000 smoking weed and stuff. Maybe more, abo.ut half a million.
Listen up…I live in Amsterdam. The people in Amsterdam loves their own city the most of Holland. (I mean like..somebody from Rotterdam does’nt like his own city as much as someone from Amsterdam).

April 24th, 2008 at 6:26 am
Honestly….i understand both sides.
Americans…I can see why you don’t understand how this is meant to be funny. First of all its a really old video and its dutch….so the only thing you can judge it on is what you see, and not the content. But also because American television is soft…..sports, comedies (The king of queens anyone?) and stuff like this gets censored. We get a lot of shows from america….mostly talkshows, comedy tv shows, football and nba games etc, hell…even in cinema, movies made in the US never cross a line…killing people is the limit. and even then..the movie is made softer for United states viewers (….i saw a bonus on a dvd of a movie….where they showed the amount of blood in the european version annd the amount for the US public)
And dutch people are just trying to explain to you that shit isnt as strict here…..not everything is censored. But there are laws. If this man was a pedophile it wouldnt have been shown on television. Thing is….he crossed the line….but he crossed the american line. We might not find this funny, but then we just dont laugh.
Btw…i live in holland, but im not dutch. For my own safety i shall not reveal my nationality….;)

First off: you’re all fucking idiots. Maybe you should just read the comments that don’t have multiple exclamation points and/or a large amount of words written in nothing but capitals to figure out what’s really going on? No, fuck that! Let’s just read the two same comments over and over; Dutch assholes trying to defend this asshole’s unfunny, 15-year old bullshit act, and American assholes who generalize and judge anything outside of Shitsville, Delaware. There’s a rational reasoning behind this whole ordeal buried in this comment section, but everyone just chooses to ignore it in a typical Internet fashion. Oh, and “Vivian”: die in a fire, you condescending bitch. Props to insulting both Holland and the USA, but it’s obvious you don’t know shit about our country. I’m not trying to defend it, I’m not saying that our country is superior in any way, but just letting you know that your assumptions are simply incorrect.

1. That video is just plain retarded. Even if he were kissing a grown man or woman it would still be retarded so stop defending crappy videos, people.
2. I love the hypocrisy of people defending the video as comedy and calling others ignorant for taking it too seriously all while criticizing and being offended by the satiric article that’s accompanying the video which was posted on a comedy website. Remember, Wolinsky writes for Cracked not The New York Times. Lighten up!
3. By reading all the comments here it’s clear that both Europeans and North Americans are ignorant assholes. Stop trying to out-asshole each other with you ignorant comments about who’s more ignorant you ignorant assholes! Both continents suck so shut up about it.

in our school systems, they are making the tests easier and easier
the classes don’t really cover anything different from year to year and then we go home and stare at the tv for a while.
on tv though is lots of american “culture” (mtv) so instead of learning stuff kids are killing brain cells by watching sluts
we have children who by ninth grade do not know the difference between night and day
and they aren’t retarded or anything either
they’re average.
chew on that

That being said, one serious comment. I’ve been to Slovenia– my ancestry is Slovenian. And though I know where it is, I do refer to Slovenia as being in Eastern Europe. I understand that this is controversial for Slovenians– they use the Roman alphabet and are traditionally Catholic, not Orthodox, which would imply “west” not “east”– because on some level here geography is irrelevant. BUT, Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia under Tito. Thus, though independent of the Soviet Block, it was a communist country for a while. Thus, for those Americans classifying Europe by 20th century geo-political definitions, Slovenia would still be more “eastern” to US visitors than say Austria, with which it has a lot in common.
If I were to stereotype Slovenians– I would call them non-confrontational and quiet rule followers. By that standard, Slovenia should be on the other side of the earth from neighboring Croatia. Those of you who have visited Croatia, and say got off a bus in Split, know exactly what I’m talking about.
Nothing to add about Estonia, the Dutch, or child molestation. Now I have to go read that article about gay rap lyrics.

youre all batshit crazy and fucking retarded
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm
I’ve read these comments and have realized that people from all countries (Including the US) have idiots living there. And I’m wondering why do most other countries think that all people from the US are fat? Yes, there are some really fat people in America, but there are alot of skinny people here to. And also, most people from the US only have problems with illegal immigrants (I’m looking at you Mexico).
I would also like to add that I hope to travel Europe and learn the different cultures there.
Sincerely,
Steven (US)

Vivian: ‘Hey how bout this, you’re all fucking white and you all fucking look the same. And no, you’re beer is not better. Fuck you Holland for being so god-damn racist and euro-centric. Get with the fucking program! It’s not the middle ages anymore. You cant all be white. I get that you’re afraid of brown people…but judging from this video, they aint the only ones you need to fear.’
WTF! i really don’t know what kind of image you have of the Netherlands.
first of all, Dont fuck with our beer. Americans love Heineken, no question about that.
and i am black, i live in the Netherlands. did you know that the netherlands has 700,000 black people just like me, now thats allot, considering that we only have 16 million people living here.
and i didn’t even started about the other minorities, like the north Africans {Moroccans), Turks, mid-Easterns and ALLOT more.
SO FUCK YOU VIVIAN, YOU ARE THE ONE BEING STEREOTYPICAL, YOU ARE THE ONE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. WE ARE NOT ALL WHITE, AND WE ARE PROUD OF OUR MULTICULTURALISM.
SO FUCK YOU

Oh ya,
And the video? I had a hard time even getting through it. Disgusting. That man is disgusting. It’s not funny, it’s not cute, it’s not a joke. It’s one of the grossest things I’ve ever seen.
The look of lust on that old fat man’s pudgy face made me want to vomit.
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:49 pm
It’s pAedophiles you ignorant Americans, and no you can’t just modify English spelling
. And if the Dutch didn’t do things that appeared hugely inappropriate to the rest of us, they wouldn’t be the Dutch. That’s what makes Holland fun. This was hugely fucked up though. Mr de Leeuw is clearly loving it and that’s fucked.
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Fuck off all of you.
First:
Fuck you Holland. Fuck you for your elitist “We’re Dutch not German” snark. Look, I get that you live on Akellekaalampas Ave. rather then Herenberg Ave. I get that. You’re not German. But youre close fucking enough that you need to get off that high horse and stop breaking into tirades anytime somebody mistakes you for one. Hey how bout this, you’re all fucking white and you all fucking look the same. And no, you’re beer is not better. Fuck you Holland for being so god-damn racist and euro-centric. Get with the fucking program! It’s not the middle ages anymore. You cant all be white. I get that you’re afraid of brown people…but judging from this video, they aint the only ones you need to fear.
Stop eating all the good kabobs and then bitching about it in your whiney Dutch languge that is about the unsexiest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. “Unta gerdinshtaaal un min klamperfalaag?” Um. No. No I’d rather not.
Now.
Fuck you America. Fuck you for jumping the gun so god-damn quickly and getting all riled up when people insult the US. Know what? You can take it. You’re the big-boy on the block. The bully. The one with the guns and if you cant take a wee bit of jabbing about how backwards you can be ever once and a while then GO AWAY. Seriously. Just go away. Where? Dont care. Just leave. Fuck you America for thinking you dont have the same damn problems, or that our modern day screenwriters arn’t trying to make rape sexy. Because rape and pedophilia are soooo far apart in the sex crimes sex crimes spectrum. Oh wait. It’s not. Fuck you for thinking Europe is a country and not a continent. Fuck you for being an idiot about what other cultures do, while blindly following your own flag.
So.
In conclusion:
Fuck you both.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:55 pm
We in Lithuania (badlands east of Poland, soft skinned americans better not go) are fundamentalist catholics so we simply club the pedophiles to death. We were known to club the christians to death to, when I come to think of that. Tolerance (religious, racial) is not the strongest feature of my country, so I think my country is just an eastern edge of the American Bible Belt.

Stefan: Estonia. You know - Northern Europe?
That’s what I was doing there - visiting the motherland for the first time. We did all the touristy stuff: visiting the Coliseum, riding the “Tube” and eating something called “spaghetti” (apparently a local specialty!). It was awesome.

I don’t know. When the kid started giggling I kind of got the idea that he was in on the joke (though I have no idea what the joke was). Since I have no context historically for the comedian, the kid, the show, and the basis of the skit, I reserve judgement. I’m certainly NOT, as an American (USAnian) going to throw stones at the glass house of cultural ineptitude. Of course this particular kind of “joke” could not be aired in the US, but I don’t understand people being sick or shocked by it. For all I know the joke was to expose the ridiculousness of children singing songs about adult emotions; something we have in the US. The juxtaposition of the words, the kid and the adult makes a pretty salient, if uncomfortable, point.

My thought process while watching: 1. God, that kid’s a terrible singer. 2. This sounds German to me. 3. Aww, he kissed the boy, they’re probably just father-son. 4. WTF?
Now after reading this thread, I can see how this could be funny. I’d probably have to be used to this guy’s shtick.
BTW, I’m an American. The fact that this comedian did this and still has a show is testament to how much The Netherlands rocks. It’s really lame how you recently banned shrooms, though. C’mon, guys, you need to be the vanguard.
________________________________________________________________________
Eh…sorry to bring you this news, but shrooms are still alive ‘n kicking.
Some steps have been taken to make it less available to tourists, (you will have to “order” your shrooms a few days ahead in the near future) but it will take more then some stupid french tourist girl jumping of a bridge to ban these little wonders of nature. (And an English tourist destroying his hotel room and his own body, and another french killing his dog in his car…)
We held a demonstration on The Dam (Amsterdam Central Square if you will) to express our feelings about a possible ban, dunno if those sorry excuses for politicians will really listen, but hey, at least we delayed the ban by a good bit.
They were supposed to be banned somewhere around November last year and with all the other shit going on here (Yes, I’m looking at you Geert Wilders) I dont think its really high on their agenda at the moment.
Anyway, to get somewhat back on topic, like someone said before, just search for Paul de Leeuw + Vegan Streaker on youtube, also not a pretty sight, (lol small veggie penis) but damned funny.

But your comments still elude me - particularly that bit in Dutch that, according to Babelfish, translates to “when you are shaved cut and, you must continue sit quietly.” Care to explain?
Oké, 4 cents
It’s simple, when you make a big mistake and a lot of fuzz is going around on that mistake, you better can be quit and hold off defending youre case - just go with the flow and admit you made a mistake.
Right now in the Netherlands, they asked the performer(the one which is aqused of pedophilia in the movie title) what he thinks of this and of course he’s not happy, why? because the fragment you show, place everything out of context.(and then I’m not mentioning that the video fragment was from the 90′)
Here’s the link: http://www.nu.nl/news/1538939/50/rss/Paul_de_Leeuw_niet_blij_met_Youtube.html (babelfish it)
Look, I really don’t get you’re point with this article, it’s only revealing one thing - all country’s are different on most aspects/lifestyle(religion) and it’s the easy way to stereolize the differences, that’s not difficult at all.
It’s more of a changeling “thing” to let us see what’s bonding us in this world, and if I made such a mistake/assumption which isn’t correct on such a scale, I really would make excuses to the people I insulted - but hey,….. that’s me.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
The clip? Odd, definitely. The article? Full of hilarity.. and not literal, in any sense. The comments? Just proving that every country has its fair share of morons, idiots, and bigots. To all of us out here in cyberland that find this all hilarious, cheers! To the rest, those genuinely upset about complete strangers blogging meaningless drivel, I vote we give you your own area to populate. Sound good?
My favorite? The person bitching about Americans calling themselves Americans, and that Mexico, Brazil, etc., are also Americans. Well, sure, of course they are; they do live on giant land masses containing the word AMERICA in the name. Does that mean I’m heading to Rio and calling everyone I meet an American? Not so much. Stop being so pedantic - it makes people not like you.

Shoud I?: Between the outdated fashion and grainy video quality, I thought I had this video correctly pegged as contemporary Eastern European. Turns out it is a 15-year-old clip from the Netherlands? Fine. My fault.
But your comments still elude me - particularly that bit in Dutch that, according to Babelfish, translates to “when you are shaved cut and, you must continue sit quietly.” Care to explain?
Oh, and Mike: I hate to tell you this, but I’ve never actually been to Estonia. All that stuff about the street theater and the child molestation in a town square? That was what we Americans like to call “a joke.”
I guess it can be broken down like this:
The Dutch make jokes about molesting children.
Americans make jokes about traveling to Europe and seeing weird things.
Chinese people put pee-pee in your coke.
Oh wait - did I just accidentally just stereotype 1.3 billion Chinese people? Let me apologize in advance: not all Chinese people actually put pee-pee in peoples’ cokes.

First off all, Cracked.com - America’s only humor & video site since 1958 - what the hack!!! - then wikipedia has to be wrong or Ross Wolinsky has to be the only one to use the internet since 1958 and we began to use it in 1990. - so I think this site his full off crap and you start to believe your own shit.
Second…. Americans are so good in assuming things without thinking and investigating, that you are beyond help - even you’re own history you don’t remember correctly as a nation, so before you people even have a opinion about anything else except you’re own behavior (read priest/childeren, guns lobby, social security, medical security and the greatest scam of the 21 century: 9/11) - then STFU!
So that’s the flame, where it’s coming from? a Dutch guy, living 6 months a year in your great country - and Nooooooooo, The Netherlands are Not near Switserland, Not near Yugoslavia and when I smoke a rolly - It’s not a Joint, but just tobacco.
Yes, when I’m at home, I put wooden shoes on en go water the Tulips under the wind Mills. -AAAArgggghhhhh
So let me say something nice at the end: Ross Wolinsky you’re a retarded idiot! - but the gut feeling says, that’s not the first time you’ve heard that.

And after that, I will trip my self to sleep with a shitload of selfgrown magic mushrooms…

Another thing is your strange picture of the Netherlands. I now nobody who wears wooden shoes, know only one windmill in a radial of 30km, and just one person who ever saw a coffeshop from the inside. And that’s while I’m Dutch, 18yo and living in a town with almost 50k of people.

April 23rd, 2008 at 9:05 am
Putting aside the discussion wether the duet was funny (I really don’t like Paul de Leeuw’s sense of humor), it has to be said that the boy is an actor and Paul is acting as well. It’s fake. It’s staged to create the exact reactions you can find in this comments. The boy knew what was going to happen and he knew the effect it would have on the audience. Thinking this is real and we all laugh at child molesters is like assuming it’s easy to rob a casino in Vegas because you saw George Clooney do it in Ocean’s Eleven.
Furthermore, mistaking The Netherlands for an Eastern European country is a somewhat embarassing mistake. Casually assuming everyone in that country is a pedophile down the road is somewhat painful.
For everyone mentioning they’re glad to live in the USA: thanks. Because I definitely wouldn’t want to live over there!

April 23rd, 2008 at 7:20 am
Those Estonian things sound like they would be just what the locals told they are, and nothing pedophilia related there. Just symbolism that bothers people from pedophilia and sex obsessed countries. If you lived in a country where pedophilia is rare and/or not sensationalized by media, your mind simply wouldn’t “go there” so easily. You can easily find a lot of old American comics and movies that nowadays seem to have creepy undertones (Batman and Robin comes to mind). It’s not like pedophilia was not invented in the 50’s, it simply was not as widely known problem as it is now.
Even that video, as creepy as it was, could be seen as funny because the kid can keep singing despite the hosts. And that probably was the joke the host had in mind. I admit that even with that interpretation the host seems really creepy.

I am from Slovenia (which btw. is a central european country bordering italy, austria, croatia and hungary). The “Ostrogoths who once pillaged our land” it totally nonsense. I don’t know what you saw there but that lady sure make a joke out of you
We here do not tolerate pedophilia and is a serious and disgusting crime.
And what’s so strange about Prekmurje people speaking english? I don’t know why they shouldn’t.
Maybe the author should think twice before dishonor not only the slovenes, but all other countries and cultures.

As a European I find it offensive that non-europeans think that they find it offensive that they think that Europeans find pedophilia hilarious.
There is nothing funny about thinking that something that somebody thinks is hilarious is offensive when in fact they think it’s offensive and not, in fact, hilarious.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:47 am
Shouldn’t De Leeuw’s sketch/song be viewed in the context of his comedy?
The entire paedophilia commentary here is akin to a non English speaking person watching a Ms Swan sketch on Mad TV (which is crap to begin with) and concluding that all of North America is crawling with racist asian hating Xenophobes. Then going on to state obvious truths about how racism is bad and somehow extend that to all north Americans being racist and bad.
Without even attempting to take any sort of high ground, it would be stupid to start to assume that all Americans are bad. Similarly, it would be equally stupid to assume that all “Dutch/Europeans/Asians/—-” are “good/bad/paedos/progessive/regressive—-”
Or I could be completely talking out of my ass!

Eastern Europe is messed up. It’s the part of Europe that Europeans don’t like to acknowledge as being part of Europe, because when people think of Europe they generally think of it as being a bit more liberal and forward, but places like Romania and Bulgaria are so hideously backwards. Then you have the Netherlands (which sometimes gets added into Eastern Europe) that seems very progressive with legalization of weed, and prostitution etc - but their tolerance to non Christian - non Anglos is insane. They refused to allow any non-Christian temples/churches/mosques to be built in major cities because they said it would wreck the skyline.
There’s supposedly a large sex-trade industry for children in Slovenia - so something like this is very telling of why they don’t take the issue seriously.”
Stuart, you’re really insightful. Really. *snark*

The antecedents of the TV host was known. Why would any parents send their kid to the show?

Way to go Wolinsky, (that name sounds awfully eastern European to me). You have managed to piss off 1/5 of the world. How about a blog about why China is shit too? Or the Arabs, or in fact anyone that is not overweight or obese like 75% of your population?
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:56 am
This text is total BS. Everything you (Ross Wolinsky) write is complete nonsense.

“Please god, never let America become at all like Europe. Let us all die in a painful nuclear holocaust, but please never let us become like Europe. I cant express how fucking glad i am that i was born in this country”
Wake up knucklehead - just because you’ve been living over the pond for a few hundred years doesn’t exactly make you “different”.

I’m an American, born and raised in the continental US. I would just like to apologize for the ignorant and racist behaviour of a horrifying faction of our country. I go to a college in east central Indiana, but we still have a large number of international students here. The lack of geography and culture knowledge about anything outside (or even inside) our country makes me sick. Reading down this column of comments and responses, it made me really sad to see that so many people were to stupid to even read the previous comments before they opened their mouths and said, “God, eastern Europeans are dumb, glad we’re so smart over here in the U.S. Don’t they speak like Japanese over there or something? I bet this is some communist joke!” (Cultural ignorance in that statement added for effect)
So to anyone from another country that is pissed off that we seem so racist and stupid, it’s not all of us, just most of us, and the rest are really sorry that you have to put up with them.

Thank you! someone talking sense, scrolling a few comments on and you get…

I doubt very much that the author of this non-article has ever left the USA. He doesn’t seem to know where he has been as witnessed by the Dutch video and the fact that that he thinks Slovenia is in Eastern Europe. Typical ignorant merkin /irony..
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:17 am
You’ve got to be kidding. You can find such pedophilia-related stuff in various places. And how did you conclude that “eastern Europe finds pedophilia an absolutely normal thing”?.
If I go to England or the US (or wherever you’re from) and I see some adult doing something related to pedophilia with a little boy, should I make a dumb blog post and say “OH DEAR, THAT country is full of people who think pedophilia is ok” ?

JOKE ABOUT SLOVENIA IS TO NOT BE TOLERATED
SLOVENE POTATOES ARE QUICKLY APPROACHING ALMOST RESTAURANT STANDARD AND OUR INSTITUTIONALISED CHILD MOLESTATION IS RELATIVELY LOW, THE ENVY OF ZNARGAGREVCSKA WHERE THEY DRIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF ROAD AND PRIESTS PUBLICALLY WEAR THE BUTT MUSCLE OF THEIR YOUNG VICTIMS AROUND THE PENIS LIKE SAVAGE NECK-JEWELRYS OF SHARON TRIBE IN NORTHERN THAILAND. THEY BELIEVE IT MAKE THE PENIS STRONG LIKE ANKLE OF GOAT.
AT LEAST THEY STILL NOT AMERICA WHERE EVEN TO THINK OF THE SOFT SKIN IN THE NAPE OF A BOY’S NECK IS A PERVERSITY.
HARD LUCK FOR EVERYONE ON STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION WHERE THEY TOUCH THEIR INNER CHILD SO MUCH THEY SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL FOR AUTOPEDOPHILIA.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:53 am
A trend going on here is that us Dutchies are being flamed for something a gay guy did 10 years ago.
How would you guys feel if I post this video: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=cap4mOJ6N2E
on a Dutch site and discuss how stupid Americans are? Wouldn’t make much sense right, since those two guys don’t represent 100% of all Americans?
So can’t we agree that we’re all cool nerds on a cool site living in a country which is also occupied by gay/stupid men who do gay/stupid things?
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:46 am
This is sick! I couldn’t even watch the whole thing.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:42 am
My thought process while watching: 1. God, that kid’s a terrible singer. 2. This sounds German to me. 3. Aww, he kissed the boy, they’re probably just father-son. 4. WTF?
Now after reading this thread, I can see how this could be funny. I’d probably have to be used to this guy’s shtick.
BTW, I’m an American. The fact that this comedian did this and still has a show is testament to how much The Netherlands rocks. It’s really lame how you recently banned shrooms, though. C’mon, guys, you need to be the vanguard.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:33 am
yea, clearly not eastern europe… just looking for an excuse to tell otherwise unrelated stories
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:25 am
Slovenia is not Eastern Europe and odds of random person speaking english in Slovenia are about as high as in UK
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:21 am
I didn’t watch the video because its completely irrelevant - whatever is on the video does not reflect what all Europeans think - unlike the headline for this article.
I know most Americans can’t truly comprehend geography but EUROPE is a continent made up of many countries and what you may have experienced or seen in one country does not accurately reflect all European countries.
Get off your high horse and get a grip.
I actually feel sorry for American tourists when I’m over seas because of the way locals don’t help them and the general disdain the show towards them but then I read something like this and understand why…

April 23rd, 2008 at 2:07 am
here in mexico we sodomize little kids for fun, luckly for us we do it in the privacy of our homes,but in a stage in front of all those people¡ that is outrageous¡
some people think that is wrong sodomize little kids,but is because they dont understand our culture,we dont have the program “catch a predator” and here our catholic priest are more like mafia kingpings and they with no shame at all have 3 or 4 wives and that is why they dont sodomize little kids like in the US(sarcams ended)
fucking dutch they are all high in pot anyway
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:56 am
I see the Dutch are still really appreciative of the Marshall Plan here on Cracked!

Sorry, but I don’t believe that fat fuck was acting.
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
The worst part about this video is the simulated arse fucking he gives the kid at the end.
April 22nd, 2008 at 9:35 pm
I’m amazed by the defense of this as “satire”. Dr. Strangelove is satire. The Daily Show is satire. Chapliin’s “The Great Dictator” is satire. Nibbling on a small boy is something else entirely.
It says a lot when someone says “chewing on children during a tv broadcast is strange” and your response is “Screw You, America!”
April 22nd, 2008 at 9:20 pm
I didn’t read that long reply that was posted in a forum.
Also, OMG THAT LITTLE BOY GOT HIS HEAD RUBBED BY A FAT GUY’S LEGS.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Dear Fellow-Cracked-lovers,
As a proud (worldrecord domino-toppling) Dutchman and frequent Cracked-visitor I cannot stand aside and let’s this ridiculous discussion go forth. First I have to say something about the comedian (though it’s been said before). That boy is instructed on what is going to happen and knows that he’s being used in grossing out the audience. The comedian did something similar some years before. He had a boy on his show singing só far out of key it would have put your run-of-the-windmill (see what I did there) YouTube-singer to shame. The comedian interrupted the performance and started telling the kid how bad he was. The part of the audience that didn’t realise the kid knew this was going to happen (the part that has fewer IQ-points than this website has tags) we’re furious, not unlike the reactions on this very board. Also, there was that time Justin Timberlake tore off his bra.
About the fact that this video was mistaken for Eastern-Europe, I wasn’t happy about that either. But as all of us here know, America’s entertainment export/import-rate is somewhere around 100/0. That means that the whole world knows what happened to Ross and Rachel in the final season, but most Americans don’t know a great deal about foreign countries. But that doesn’t matter. Because I forgive you because you gave us the gift that is The A-Team.
But all of this does not concern me, no. What really made me type this are all the comments I read here. As opposed to afformentioned comedian, I’m pretty sure Mr. Wolinksy was never trying to fire up the ol’ “Pedophilia in the Netherlands as oppose to the U.S.-disscusion”. Like a respectable Cracked-blogger I’m sure he was just trying to write something funny. But judging these reactions I get the feeling we have forgotten to stay true to ourselfs. Is this website not about looking for gay-innuendo in 80s cartoons? (at least for the Americans it is. As a European, my only entertainment is a group of hunchbacked carnies that visit our plague-ridden village once a year) I just wish that one day, every Cracked-member can join hands and, despite their nationality, religion or creed, laugh at penis-jokes.
Cracked is ‘a funny website’. That’s a rule, right there.
Just like it’s rule that we agree to not-like Hannah Montana,
or the rule that, if you write a long reply in a forum, no-one’s going to read it.

“I think you americans are so afraid of pedophilia because priests keep touching your children.
I bet parents don’t even hug their children anymore (that would explain a few wars).
Enjoy living in fear…”
Are you jabbing America, priests, children, or hugs?
Stop whining about someone making fun of your country/continent. You’re obviously not averse to stereotyping. Look how good you did! You got Americans in general, American PARENTS, American priests, American children, and the American Military!! Great work!
April 22nd, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Wow! That kid sure is pitchy!
April 22nd, 2008 at 7:15 pm
…I think the lyrics actually made that video MORE creepy, if possible.

Actually, Rik, I rather enjoy being compared to the President. It makes me look better in so many ways.

Rik; if you live in the Netherlands, and you’re NOT high, then what the fuck is wrong with you? Do have any idea how many of us would kill to live so close to Amsterdam?!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, here’s someone else who can sing really well, here he is: our very own: Keesje!
Song:
If I could only be with you for just a moment,
If I could only share just a moment with you
What seems so normal for so many people
As long as it’s there
If only you were here for just a moment
Paul >>I’m with you
If I could learn from you for just a moment
You teach me so much
I’ve still got so much to ask you
That I don’t want to try anymore
Paul>> Try it
Because I miss you so much
If I could only be with you for just a moment,
Paul >>I’m with you
I’ve still got so much to ask you
It hurts so much
Even after all this time I only think about what I feel for you
If I could only be with you for just a moment,
Feel real love
I now know what they mean by that
It seemed so natural
If only you were here for just a moment
You are with me
If I could only talk to you for a moment
The way we used to for hours
O, I wish that was still the same
If I could only be with you for just a moment,
Paul >>I’m with you
I’ve still got so much to ask you
It hurts so much
You’ll hang on
Even after all this time I only think about what I feel for you
Everything I ever had I’d let go
O, if I could just trade it in for you
If I could only be with you for a moment
There are still so many things to ask
It hurts so much
You’re singing out of tune
Even after all that time (>>I’m not sitting comfortable) I can’t stand it
If only I could stand next to you for a moment
I love to be with you
If only you weren’t so far away from me
Then I could show you what I still feel for you
I really want to show you my feelings for you.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Please god, never let America become at all like Europe. Let us all die in a painful nuclear holocaust, but please never let us become like Europe. I cant express how fucking glad i am that i was born in this country
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:26 pm
That was absolutely foul and disgusting and horrible. That kid was completely off-key from the start and refused to get any better no matter how much fondling, licking and simulated buggery he recieved. Back in my day we’d have to BEG to get fucked up the arse by an enormous Dutchman. This video is a damning indictment on the ungrateful youth of 1991. The carrot clearly doesn’t/didn’t work, it is/was/used to be time for the stick.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:11 pm

this clip shocked me too, but some of the responses here are worse. It’s like watching a clip of Tom Green and saying “all Americans are retarded and like fart jokes.”
(And I know Tom Green is Canadian. That’s exactly my point)

I read these comments occasionally and generally if a country is mentioned other than the good ole U.S. of A. we get some douche from that country trying to defend some weirdo. Guess what, pedophiles are not good people and probably should not be telvised. If they have to be on the Tele, I personally prefer the way America does it. Some white trash walks into a big ass mansion with a woman who is dressed up like a 12 year old and then we all get to laugh as dude gets tackled and beat in the yard by overzealous cops when he inevitably tries to flee from the host of the show. Fat guy fondling what appears to be about an 8yr old boy is not funny and it’s not entertainment. Very glad i will never have to shit this batshit again.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:38 pm
….wait, so we have people who know what they’re singing about.? Like, does it make anymore sense with the lyrics or what? Link to a translation please someone?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Rik, you sir just made me appreciate Netherlands even more. A nicely worded, polite and reasonable comment. I can on
