| Message | about the Sinterklaas story of 20-11: There is an S&M twist to this Dutch Sinterklaas thing... bad boys get spanked by Zwarte Piet. Good boys may sit on Sinterklaas' lap, which has caused lots of insinuations, of course: bearded old man fondling boys on his lap. I was never that good a boy. I did perform as Santa during a condom campain. Our Zwarte Pieten throwing condoms into bars. Actually, I was wearing chaps underneath my outfit, and very little else. The naughty boys in the bar demanded to see what I was wearing underneath. It was not the usual Sinterklaas visit. We took a tram from one bar to the next, not bothering to buy a ticket. A saint has priviliges. This 'racial' thing is bol locks, even if those black guys were slaves, long ago, which they probably do not represent. The purists really take it far. They also want to ban the name Negerzoenen, which means negro kisses, for a dark brown, blackish treat: a marshmellow cookie , covered in chocolate. As if a kiss by a black guy is bad. We also have Jewcakes - Jodenkoeken. Oh dear. We also have a saying: wie de schoen past, trekke hem aan - meaning in this context: spotting such a 'problem' probably indicates YOUR problem. |
