Erect Penis on Public tv, even for the Dutch it’s too much

De Wereld Draait Door (“As the World Turns”), the most popular news show on Dutch public tv, has found the limits of live broadcasting. In an item on chatroulette, a naked, erect penis appeared on screen. Anchorman Matthijs van Nieuwkerk immediately stopped the item – and closed the show.

    Journalism isn’t too hard, is it? The anchorman already was going to close the item, not because of the erect penis.
