Iranians rename "Danish" pastries. Danes look up from munching their sweet "vienna breads", shrug and get back to work. Is everyone on this planet nuts?

That reminds me: I have a sign un in my kitchen that says "french kiss the cook" and I really need to change it to "freedom kiss the cook".

It's interesting to see that Iran is boycotting other Danish products. Bearing in mind Denmark's main exports are Carlsberg lager, bacon and pornography I doubt the loss of the Islamic market in those consumables will make much of a dent in the Danish economy.

Short answer: yes.

In other news... various college newspapers are sacking editors who run those (bad and unfunny) Dutch comix.

essexjan, those Dutch really understand the human condition, don't they? Beer, bacon and porn? What else does the human animal require?

Uhm...guys, more than 100 people got fired from Arla already in th efirst week of ruckus, Denmark is ironically the worlds largest exporter of Feta cheese.
(and Sweden exports the most tulips! Not Holland! I love how real stats screw with the stereotypes!)

of course it wasn't allowed to be called Feta cheese anymore anyway... rather "greek cheese". Heh.

There was a place in Rutland VT that had freedom fries on the menu. What did they have against Belgians?
