     Dancing, making jokes or satire publicly, is illegal next week Friday in Germany.

     This is not a joke. Whenever I talk about this publicly people think it's a joke. This concept is so foreign to some people.

     My favorite TV shows can't air because it's illegal to make jokes that day.

     What kinda Footlose sh*t is this??

     but why?

     I guess there's a public holiday, somber and religious in nature called, Good Friday.

     I read there's also another public holiday in Germany that has similar restrictions; I think it's in October or November, something about mourning the dead.

     How much modern Germany is a religious country I have no idea. But one thing for sure, the very strict separation between church and state that exists in France, is not happening there.
