Dad, time to get off the bus. There s the nekked lady. He dropped me an e-mail about Danish television. The first week he is there, he is sitting with his daughter in his lap, flipping through the channels in the evening, looking for Barney, when up flashes two Swedish porno actors, wailing away on each other. He flips quickly.
Porno is just one channel among many.
Titilation is great for most of us. I never asked him, but truth be told, at the end of his first week in Copenhagen, he probably thought he had died and gone to heaven. But after several months, the euphoria waned. In an e-mail to friends, he said, The Danes have done what I did not think possible. They have succeeded in making sex boring.
