    Them crazy danes and our weird ways

    So basically, in Denmark we have this tradition, to throw cinnamon on people, if they turn 25 years without being married.
    Some of my friends took it a bit further, and that has lead to this vid on youtube.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIdyluEdqgY

    No one was hurt doing the taping of this vid (besides their braincells, beeing really really drunk, and all)

    I hope you like the video, Japaneese tv, has sent a mail wanting to use it in a clip show

    I have the feeling everyone in that video has been cinnamon'd, or will be soon™.

    You know a tradition is fucked up when the Japanese want videos of it.

    yea i thought it was pepper too, and i didnt know we'd throw it at people.

    i guess it varies from the different parts of denmark. We're a weird country.

    Yes, you're right about that, even for such a small sized country.. In some parts, people don't even do it, as far as I know.

    I've never heard of anyone throwing cinnamon at people, nor have I heard of anyone getting cinnamon thrown at them. Also I've never heard of anyone throwing pepper or getting pepper thrown at them.

    I do know the moronic tradition of building a gigantic pepper-grinder (often penis shaper hurr durr) out of empty oilcans and placing it infront of the birthday-boy's home. Big woop.

    I wouldnt know. But a common stereotype for Lolland is a windswept place with a lot of crime and unemployment.

    Well Gainesville criminalized being homeless and is known for being like... A redneck Mecca ... So I guess it depends on what you consider crime.

    Really? Huh, never heard that - and I lived there for a few months. Honestly Lolland and Falster is pretty... Dull really. Not too bad, just dull.

    Nah if they throw feces I'd guess Herning or the surrounding areas... Well that or Voldsmose.

    Lolland is also somewhat known for its pot farmers.
