Daily Show 1, Denmark 0

For a different take on Denmark, have a look at the "Danish Arrogance" report at the Daily Show. It's hilarious how the reporter flies to Denmark and, well, pretty much abuses people. One of the funniest segments is when he walks into a Middle Eastern restaurant and yells "It's OK, I'm not Danish. I'm on your side!" at the rather swarthy lads working behind the counter and then starts waving an American flag.

One take on the Toon Riots was that some local immigrants in Copenhagen got tired of being pissed on by the government. The Danish government didn't help by completely failing to comprehend the situation and standing around trying to look earnest and Nordic. The people in the Daily Show bit were about the same....them guys at Comdey Central must know something.
