Wednesday, the 13th of December 2006, Ve is watching TV. She lives in Belgium so she just watched the news on RTBF and the next TV program starts, while Ve lies on the sofa, thinking to something else. The next program is "Questions à la une". Allright. Good enough.

The show is soon interrupted by a special announcement, yadi yadi yada, everybody knows the story now. Video.

Ve wakes up and opens wide the eyes. She listens all the words of François De Brigode, she can't stop listening. She is told that the motorway is paralysed in Brussel, that the trains are stopped at the linguistic border, that Antwerp became crazy. Vi sends SMS to her friends. She is told that the King escaped to Kinshasa, that the planes are deviated to Liege and that the Ministers of Brussel Government are lockep up in the Atonium. Ve calls a friend.

Well, it was a joke, we all know it now. A really well done joke, we can guess that. But 6% of the belgian viewers believed the information until the end. Like Ve did (80% stopped believing when they saw "fiction" on the screen or sooner). This portion of Wallonia is said outraged, scandalized. And politician with them. Investigation, etc.

So what ? Should we conclude that 6% of the Walloon viewers are stupid to eat oats by bags of 100 kgs? It's hard because Ve is a friend. And we'd like to heard that Ve would switch to another channel (she receives more than 20), switch on her radio (the FM range is 87.5 to 107.9) or surf on a news website. But Ve staid tuned to the RTBF, and now she promises not to watch it anymore. It's like a non sense.

We want to say bravo to the RTBF as we would do to Orson Welles ...
