20:25 Working on my powerpoint presentation

I guess my Dutch was actually too bad and therefore she always replied in English. :D Ik heb gisteren een Nederlands spreekwoord geleerd. :D Wat zeggen Nederlanders altijd: "Doe maar gewoon, dan doe je al gek genoeg?" :) We hebben een speciale uitgave van het tijdschrift Elsevier gelezen. Een paar jaar geleden trachtte deze tijdschrift erachter te komen, hoe nou eigenlijk Nederlanders zijn. De aantwoort was dat het nationaal gevoel - behoudens erupties als Koninginnedag of een overwinning van het Nederlandse Elftal - een nationaal taboe is. Zeer interessant! :)

No, Emre Aydin from Turkey won the award for "Europe's Favourite". Tiziano Ferro was just the one who handed on the award. ;) In UK, Ireland and Portugal the show started at 8pm, while in the rest of Europe the beginning was at 9pm thanks to the different time zones.

Coldplay lost again! :( Britney Spears got an award again?! WTF????!!!!

Act of 2008 now.... Coldplay's last chance?

Except of the Killers! :D [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sAmY4iCHoI]YouTube - The Killers - Human (live MTV EMA 2008)[/ame]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sAmY4iCHoI]YouTube - The Killers - Human (live MTV EMA 2008)[/ame] Highlight of - apart from that - the worst EMA's ever! ;)

Best Act Ever now... Rick Astley won!!!!! Hahaha!

"Act of 2008" I suppose.

What a surprise! She's the host tonight... :dozey:

Wow the Killers were just awesome! What an incredible stage it was?! Oo But well, besides that the show is a complete mess so far!

At least the Killers are now performing "Human"! It's Chris' favourite song! :P

"Best Album" award goes to... Britney Spears! Coldplay only third! :( OMG!

The "headliner" award goes to... Tokio Hotel!!!! Hahahahaha! As a German I say sorry to all of you! :D

Like every year I wonder why it's called Europe Music Awards?! :dozey: There are so many amazing bands throughout this continent who should get the attention they deserve...

Most Addictive Track goes to... P!nk! :( Coldplay lost (either 4th or 5th in the nomination)!

Just did a channel search and found back MTV Germany! :D I deleted MTV recently when they decided to show less music clips and more reality shows... Katy Perry's performance is just over!

Thank you USA! :dance: Obama is the man! When I watched his speech in front of the column of victory in Berlin a few months ago I was sure he'll be the right man for America and the rest of the world. All the best for him! :nice: Oh and I'm glad that the whole tv broadcast is over now! Yesterday every single tv channel here had special programs just for the US election while the horrible bus accident near Hannover with 20 people killed got no reference even not on the news channels. :dozey:

What's going on with the BBC recently??? I mean the BBC was once famous for its bastion of quality journalism and cultivated level of speech not only in the UK... :dozey: --------- Top Gear Row Over Prostitute Gag The Top Gear presenter, 48, made the quip about lorry drivers killing sex workers on Sunday night's BBC2 show. As he completed a lorry-driving task, he said: "This is a hard job and I'm not just saying that to win favour with lorry drivers, it's a hard job. "Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a day." His comments come after serial killer Steve Wright was convicted in February of murdering five prostitutes in Ipswich. Wright was a former lorry driver, as well as pub landlord and forklift truck driver. Clarkson's joke, made before the watershed, sparked 188 complaints to the BBC, out of what the corporation said was seven million viewers. A BBC spokeswoman said: "The vast majority of Top Gear viewers have clear expectations of Jeremy Clarkson's long-established and frequently provocative on-screen persona. "This particular reference was used to comically exaggerate and make ridiculous an unfair urban myth about the world of lorry driving, and was not intended to cause offence." Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom said it had also been contacted by viewers angry at the remarks. The Iceni Project, a charity which had helped some of the murdered prostitutes in Ipswich, criticised Clarkson. The group's director Brian Tobin said: "I just think it was highly distasteful and insensitive. "It is around the time of the anniversary of the girls' (Ipswich prostitutes) deaths and it's a very delicate time. I saw it on Top Gear. It made me cringe." The remarks come after a prank carried out by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand on Brand's Radio 2 show led to the controller of the station, Lesley Douglas, resigning. Ross has been suspended for three months without pay and Brand also resigned over the incident, in which the pair left a message on Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs' answer machine claiming Brand had slept with his grand-daughter. The new Clarkson controversy comes amid a call from ITV chairman Michael Grade for less bad language in broadcasting. The former BBC chairman said there was a "pattern" in the prevalence of bad language and use of the "f-word" was "a little unrestrained". He stopped short of pushing for a ban, but said: "Clearly not enough consideration is given to a very large section of the audience who perhaps don't want to hear that word or such words. "You therefore have to know why you're using it and give it a little bit of extra consideration. It seems to me rather indiscriminate now." He was speaking at a meeting of the Broadcasting Press Guild in London, where he also praised the BBC for its handling of the Ross-Brand scandal. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Jeremy-Clarkson-Top-Gear-Star-Sparks-Fresh-BBC-Controversy-By-Joking-About-Murdering-Prostitutes/Article/200811115141269?lpos=UK_News_First_Home_Article_Teaser_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15141269_Jeremy_Clarkson%3A_Top_Gear_Star_Sparks_Fresh_BBC_Controversy_By_Joking_About_Murdering_Prostitutes

Ja, ich hab vor kurzem in den Niederlanden auch wieder ne schlechte Erfahrung gemacht und irgendwie nervt mich das nur noch. Ich meine... wenn ich über England oder Amerika rede, spreche ich doch auch nicht sofort von der Sklaverei oder bei Italien vom Faschismus?! Jedes Land hat seine dunklen Seiten in der Geschichte und ich finde langsam muss man doch mal damit aufhören und nach vorne blicken. Naja wenigstens kann man uns nicht vorwerfen, dass wir die Wahrheiten der Vergangenheit nicht akzeptieren und geheimhalten. Ich sag nur die Türkei und den Völkermord an den Armeniern während des ersten Weltkrieges... :rolleyes: Ich finde es kommt auf das Land an. Deutschland ist halt damals in Frankreich, den Niederlanden und Polen einmarschiert, von daher sind in diesen Ländern denke ich die Vorurteile noch am größten, während die netten Iren schon immer irgendwie freundlich und loyal waren. :lol: Ich hoffe mal, dass sich die Vorurteile von Generation zu Generation legen. Außerdem war die WM 2006 ja schon eine große Imageaufpolierung, ein Weg in die richtige Richtung. ;)
