John Zimmerman is right. The Muslim countries have chosen to pressure liberal little Denmark in order to teach the media and governments, which stand by them, a lesson which does not bode well for free speech or satire. Kuwait has joined the Saudi boycott (the Saudi market alone is worth 1.2 billion) and I suspect the rest will follow. So, here is a plea from my Danish friends:

"If you Americans look with this great sympathy on our case, couldn't you then raise a consumer support of DK in the US? The opposite of a boycott. A movement of: "Buy Danish!" Please?

Buy Legos and sock them away for Christmas next year - you can always give them to a childrens group.

In fact, we should do this like back we did the "We're NOT sorry..." like when GWB won the election. ...photos of US enjoying our Danish products which we have bought...and will continue to buy! We ought to take photos. I'll host em. I've got space on my site.

You're awesome. If you really do this, ping me and I will send you something.

Just got some Danish Blue Cheese. I think we need to help Denmark make up it's losses from not being able to sell to the Muslim world.

My (liberal) hubby is getting on the Danish band wagon. I was under the weather and sent him to the grocery store to buy anything produced in Denmark. He came home with 2 tins of cookies, a canned ham, anchovies, three different kinds of cheese and twelve pack of Tuborg.

You've gotta love a man who takes your interests seriously.

Although I rarely watch Stephanopolis' show, it was worth suffering through it for the few moments of George Will, who succinctly stated that "they" (Islamo fascists)" want to live in a world where they will never be offended." Sam Donaldson tried to argue otherwise, but he just didn't have a point.

Thanks for the tagline idea. Here is a translator.

What if I buy a Great Dane?

If you import it from Denmark, you'll hit the trifecta:
1. Support the Danes financially
2. Show you support ever time you walk your dog
3. Frighten any Islamo-radicals as Muslims generally don't like dogs.
(I've been told this is why there's only one recognized "breed"
from the Middle East, the "Canaan" dog.

I was asking myself if I even knew what products were Danish. Then after I read this thread, I realized I really, really like a lot of Danish products!

How do you say, "It's all good," in Danish?
