Family entertainment
I don't know if Germany was ever know for rock-hard journalism. Even if not, the "human interest" story has made its appearance here as well, just like everywhere else. As a matter of fact, there are numerous shows on every night between 6 and 8 pm (8 pm is when the 'real' news start and you better not call anyone during that time -it's sacred time here) that are devoted to human-interest stuff.
So tonight they had this thing on about women who like to ride horseback in the buff, even in winter. They say it's not that cold because the horses give off so much heat. Riiiight. Let's not discuss the deep psychological implications of this practice. Then they show a video of this to people in a shopping mall to get their reactions (another speech event that has no real name -except "reacting in shopping mall to video of women riding horses naked in the winter"), including a woman with a kid that looked to be about 3 years old and the kid is watching it too. Strangely enough, no reaction from him.
You know I'm no prude. Actually, this is not about being prudish, this is just so German. This is on at 7 pm...well, we all know what's on after 10 (the film length version of the idea of riding horses naked), so I guess this was just an appetizer. Yum yum.

Apparently since the free show at my house is now out of commission due to my curtains, I should just post a sign for people to watch German TV. Problem solved!
