Danish Television

For the most part, I can't quite tell what I'm watching.

There are commercials for a movie series... I think. They feature Zulu tribesmen who love movies... I think. There's some bit with a Zulu tribesman wearing the green one-piece swimsuit from Borat - he points at the camera and shouts, "May the Force BEAT you!" There's also a bit where the Zulu make fun of Tarzan, then watch Casino Royale on a film projector... projected on the side of an elephant.

Like I said - I can't quite tell what I'm watching.

Did watch a game show that looks like it could be a huge hit in the U.S.. It's a cross between "Name That Tune" and "American Idol" with celebrities. Two teams of Danish celebrities score points by being the first to guess what pop songs the audience members are trying to sing - it features singing celebrities and bad singing by the audience. Like I said - could be big in the U.S..

And Fanta commercials in Europe are as insultingly stupid as Fanta commercials in the U.S.

On a serious note, I'm really impressed by these Danish news anchors. They switch back and forth smoothly between Danish and English. I just wish they could talk about more than just the Tour De France. It's like it's the only thing going on in the world right now.
