Dutch Pedophile Comedian: "Stop It With The Death Threats Already!"

thumbnail icon: Dutch Pedophile Comedian: "Stop It With The Death Threats Already!"

In the continuing saga of "Creepy Dutch Pedophile Singer Who Turned Out To Be A Comedian Doing A Comedy Sketch-gate," the comedian in question, Paul De Leeuw, has been doing a flurry of interviews this week with European papers and TV about the death threats he's been getting in YouTube comments and in his personal email (though "death threat" is really only one of two types of YouTube comments, the other one being "shit LOL ROTFL your hitler"). Our Belgian tipster, Anthony, sent over a bunch of newspaper links like this one that aren't in English, so he translated one of De Leeuw's quotes for us.

The clip is more than ten years old, has been rediscovered by total strangers who know nothing about me and assume it must be malicious because it's Dutch. We didn't want it (the clip) taken down out of fear for a "where there's smoke, there's fire"-reaction".

Wait, do Dutch people think Americans hate them? But they have Amsterdam, tulips, and wooden shoes! Let's all cool off and accept that no little boys were harmed in the making of that clip before this becomes an International Incident. Because you guys were totally the ones threatening Paul De Leeuw's life. So just stop.

wow, videogum siding WITH the comedian aping various sex acts on a child?

Come on guys - that was just low, exploitative, tasteless comedy (at best). You wouldn't let Dane Cook or Jimmy Fallon get away with that stuff - why are you giving allowances to the Dutch?

"No children were hurt?" I'm sure Paul took the time to insulate the child's feelings and provide the child with appropriate levels of meta-awareness in regards to the routine: "now i'm going to be gumming your ear with my tongue, in a manner you probably won't experience or enjoy or fully understand until you reach puberty - and, no less, in a recorded public performance that will probably resurface much later and will remind you again and again of this incident - but, you see, the comedy arises from this notion that I am a pedophile and that, despite my inappropriate sexual entreaties, you continue singing this song - in fact, you are so persistent in this desire to sing that even when I dangle you upside down in front of my crotch, you will continue - and this is both humorous and adorable. Humorous because, of course, any normal child would stop -- and adorable because despite this obligation and pressure to sing, you will probably also be genuinely flustered, not to mention extremely uncomfortable, not to mention vaguely aware that this is all, somehow, very very very wrong. How adorable your acquiesence is! How adorable your inability and reluctance to express this reservation! O, youth! O, innocence! "

Come on, guys.

I just found out that Dutch people come from Holland. Yet another saga concluded in my never ceasing quest for knowledge, sponsored by Wikipedia.

"Wait, do Dutch people think Americans hate them?"

No. They probably just know that most Americans are completely ignorant of other cultures and would be stupid enough to think that while a pedophile singer would never be allowed to molest children on American television, maybe that sort of thing would pass in other countries, such as Holland.

Because, honestly, you have to be a complete moron to see that video and not realize that it was a joke.

Well, (I'd like to say 'you moron' here, but will be nice), most people from any country are ignorant of other cultures. Stop picking on America...you must be one of those blame America Firsters...it's America's fault for everything wrong in the world, right? Say...on second thought, you just might BE a moron...

I'm not an American so don't yell at me for not understanding Dutch culture and being a George Bush lover or whatever. I have been to Holland and love it. But this is too much to watch. Joke or not you do not fondle a child for humour. It's not progressive at all and it's not liberal, it's sad and degrading to children who don't understand. The joke was not even funny, licking a young boy was not funny and putting a 10 year old's face against your crotch is really NOT funny. Dutch people are not sick, but they need to re-examine what it is to be progressive, because this is definitely not. This boy later in his life will regret this, maybe even only at a subconscious level, even if he understood what was going on at the time. He is too young to understand that this is molestation. Sorry, it is.
