Dutch Public TV Shows Deep Throat
A lot of Dutch people will be glued to the TV on 23 February. The public television will beam Deep Throat, the most famous pornographic movie of all time. The manifesto of oral sex, realised in 1972, will be the pièce de résistance of the programme Sex and Drugs. In the liberal Netherlands Deep Throat is considered a landmark of the big screen and, in a way, this film is really a milestone for the big impact had on the society. I suggest you to see Inside Deep Throat, a very interesting documentary that reveals what went on behind the scenes and describes how the porn came in within the American intelligentsia and the star system. It also digs in the mafia business that gravitated around the film. So, Deep Throat is much more than a simple skin-flick but, sincerely, I don’t believe it’s right to broadcast it on a public channel, where a kid can also see it. Then, to tell you the truth: free drugs, free prostitution, free porn movies on TV..what zest is there to live in the Netherlands?

Sounds like my kinda place. ;-))
Yeah… And who hates the Netherlands for their freedoms? No one! I wish we could have some of those freedoms here. Land of the free, my ass.
The Dutch found out that when things are stopped being forbidden that interest in that will diminish to a level that it becomes a non issue, certainly not important enough to keep your society from functioning. Youth here is ok, like anywhere the majority becomes morally stable people with one extra trait, that is, Dutch are not easy shocked about anything and are thus a very stable trading relation as we have proved very well last few centuries. Also our curiosity keeps us from forbidding our kids not to look at things, they have been given eyes not with the purpose to be blind for things in life, how awful these can be sometimes.
