What does a DJ know about CG? Who the guy think he is? Johnny Depp or something?
It was completely rude to say what he said. He have not even a distant clue about how much effort it takes to do something like BBB.
Anyway, I think big media is not prepared to receive content like an open movie project. They are just looking for some big news and end results. They just don't give the deserved value to the work on it.

I was reading the news about the broadcast on Dutch TV at the same time the television program was about to get started. Guess my luck changed that day. I usually only see the end titles.

It's good to see such a load of modesty on a Dutch program :) I started using Blender a year ago to design the interior of a game shop. Now I picked it back up again and I am determined to go all the way, making my own animated shorts. Anyway, modesty aside, I think the whole concept of Blender is f*cking Brilli*ant!!!

I also think the 'whole' Blender team has done a fantastic job to create something that is not so straightforward on a continent that seems to love these kind of animation products and movies but doesn't yet seems to grasp the difficulty and hard work involved, I hope it will further awake governments and educational bodies to provide more ways for talented people to get an education in a direction they love, instead of fading to grey and dropping out pf a classic education. Computer animation and graphics programming has been around for decades but it's about time it earned its rightful place in european industries.

So keep it up and keep it free!

Congrats guys - you really did a great job and you deserve to be on international TV too. Perhaps we'll see you on CNN or something here in the States.

Giel Beelen is well known for being force feeded to enlarge his liver for promoting animal well being and walking naked in his radiostudio thats broadcasted on tv after the normal programs have finished. so a very good deterend for not smoking pot. I found the host more irritating they have another one thats much better. Like some one said before its good to have blender on tv no matter what, maybe someone should do some "naziporn" with it too realy skyrocket its exposure, :P

Oh okay, Giel Beelen is a DJ who carries favour with his audience. Funny, all I saw was someone throwing edgy comments at Ton and Sacha to raise his own profile. Again. Compared to his earlier career he was pretty well behaved.

Well i think Giel Beelen didn't like the grass because he couldnot smoke it.
Thats the only grass he knows about.

To clear some things up:

The host of the DWDD show was a substitute. He is a political correspondent and presents a main current affairs programme on Dutch TV.

Giel Beelen is a supercool dude with his heart 'on the right place'. He does a lot for charity and I think his remarks were spot-on!

So the Dutch really are obsessed with good grass and sex. A nation of pot head porno pixies. Amsterdam, here I come :)

You can tell that the hosts were more out of their depth with technology than Ton and Sacha were with being on TV. Well done guys, you came across as the intelligent ones and the hosts were just being typical prime time media jerks. Their main goal is to entertain the masses without necessarily understand the subject.

The clip they showed from BBB is not the best. They should provide the media with one that does the movie justice with more action and wow factor… mayber the trailer would do.
