Orwelliaanse VrijMiBo
Het is weekend. Het is geen handleiding.
No stone is set to mark his nation's loss,
No stately tomb enshrines his noble breast;
Not e'en the tribute of a wooden cross
Can mark this hero's rest.
He needs them not, his name untarnished stands,
Remindful of the mighty deeds he worked,
Footprints of one, upon time's changeful sands,
Who ne'er his duty shirked.
Who follows in his steps no danger shuns,
Nor stoops to conquer by a shameful deed,
An honest and unselfish race he runs,
From fear and malice freed.
Prettig weekend. En be nice.

Het sadistisch universum van John de Mol - HP/De Tijd
hpdetijd.nl
De morele onverschilligheid die John de Mol groot maakte, brengt hem nu ten val, schrijft Jan Kuitenbrouwer. Wat zich bij zijn programma's achter de schermen afspeelt, is het zelfde als ervoor, maar dan zonder filter. "Op het podium krijgen de kandidaatjes waardevol advies van hun 'coaches', in de coulissen neemt de grooming andere vormen aan."
