Danish Media-Vikings Fail

I have to state that ze Danisch media-mecca haz still failed to produce a stable sense of good journalism.

It's like:

Goodmorning everyone and to our guest, a senior particle physician from the Niels Bohr Institute.

Thank you.

Now, when today are they making a black hole?

What? No, black hole production is just an exotic and rare theory of the project, we're looking for the Higgs particle and to enrich the world.

...So, next question, when are they making a black hole?

{insert manically frowning senior particle physician going on killing spree here}

Danish media...absolute fail. Esp. Michael Rathje, argh, sensational-journalist for the fail! I hope that CERN has approved my idea of installing a black hole homing device pointed directly at that guy. Sheesh-ke-bahb.

Anyway, ofc. concern about microscopic risks of producing even more microscopic black holes with even further microscopic amount of energy [and so on] is a.ok., but let's just direct good karma to CERN instead? Huh? huh?

Booya!
