Congratulations to open-minded Ananova for managing to reinforce two stereotypes in one story. A short report on a Dutch DJ’s efforts to earn himself a place in the Guinness Book of Records closes with the sentence:
A spokesman for Guinness World Records says it is not necessary to undergo a drugs test to be counted as the new record holder, just for independent witnesses to verify it.
So what are we saying? That the Dutch ‘cafe’ culture makes it obvious this guy’s going to be on some kind of drugs, or that he must be an (ab)user because he’s a DJ. Hmmm…?
