TV review Item about bicycle helmet was mandatory, but ten Dutch celebrities on a nail bed, that is TV

It remained a big dilemma. Look: the advantage of a bicycle helmet is that you die less easily in traffic. But the after part of a bicycle helmet – how will I explain it? Journalist Tom Staal made an attempt Good morning Netherlands (WNL). He fluttered with his arms to presenter Welmoed Sijtsma and said: « If you, as a blonde woman … in the spring … With your spring dress … » His arms had now arched almost everywhere, just like Tom Staal’s arms always seem to do. Up, down; Before, back. You sometimes almost forget to listen to what he is trying to tell. But it was about the hypothetical scenario in which Sijtsma cycled somewhere in a spring dress. « Then those blonde hair must wash, right? » « Yes, » Sijtsma sighed. « But if I go down, I also want another head. » « Well, » Staal did. « That is again true. » Dilemmas, dilemmas.

On Wednesday, the government launched the campaign ‘Set’ M Op ‘, which must encourage cyclists to wear a helmet. Trauma surgeons happy, opinion makers stimulated. In the evening the arms of Staal fluttered again; now on SBS6 behind the desk of News of the day (A direct connection seems to have started between WNL and Talpa). The bicycle helmet item was redoed there. Presenter Thomas van Groningen and his guests each received such a helmet, although nobody put it on the spot. One half did not want and the other half had too big a head. « Again a patron campaign from the government, » Van Groningen had introduced the subject: « We all have to set up a bicycle helmet. » Furthermore, one went Telegraph-Columnist explain how the name change of the Amstelveen Michiel de Ruyter School was an attack on Dutch culture, said Van Groningen, whose tone tends more and more towards that of Unheard news-presenter Tom de Nooijer. Perhaps that permanent state of displeasure is contagious.

Then it is nice that there is always a program somewhere in which Dutch people learn to make the big one again small; the negative positive. Personal development is completely hot. But because you can’t just put a Dutch celebrity on a sofa and then call it TV, creative therapeutic formats must be developed. Take the Videoland series for example Shaolin Heroesof which a new episode is put online every Wednesday. In the program, ten Dutch celebrities are trained for nine days in Kungfu and get some Buddhist wisdom in between. Participants are not here on a sofa, but on a nail bed. That is TV.
