The Contest censored in Norway (almost)

I had been waiting for the Contest episode for over a month now, and guess what happens. Our TV breaks down. It had been going worse now for over a month, and we had to more and more violent to get it to work (hit it hard on the left side), but the same day as the Contest was screened, it just broke down. Ok....We all had a little nervous breakdown at my house then, but we figured we could drop by at a friends house, and watch it there. We took a taxi to our friends place, got in, and sat infront of the TV. However, there was no Seinfeld. There was only a documentary about the "Wonderful animals on the southpole "(true). ARgh. We called the TV station, and they said that they wouldnt screen Seinfeld because the foreign minister of Norway (Johan Joergen Holst) had died the same day. We asked them if the episode would be screened the next week, and they said maybe.

maybe......

maybe....

MAYBE  !!!!!!!

ARGH.

   Wait...maybe I'm ignorant of Norweigen customs, but how does the death
of the Foreign Minister lead to preempting Seinfeld with animal shows?  If
the head of state dies, do they replace the 8:00 movie with infomercials?
If the guy who owns the corner drugstore dies, do they replace the news
with Brady Bunch reruns?  "Sorry, a school superintendant sprained his
ankle this morning, so we just can't show 'Wheel of Fortune' today."

Yeah. I know its absurd and strange. Dont ask me why they replaced Seinfeld with an animals show.... I guess the point was that more or less the whole nation was mourning, and that they didnt want any sitcoms that day......

This is great. After they invented comedy Thursdays - Piglet Files (British, title?), Coach, Seinfeld and Cheers, they bloody showed some animal thing.

My condolences to Mr. Holst's family. Perhaps he was not Master of his Domain. Look what happened to George's hand modeling predecessor...
