   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??

     @andy @heluecht @hypolite @ErikUden ok, I am pretty deeply religious, and when I first read this I hoped it was about April Fools Day
     I am against this on Good Friday, but for this law April 1

     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.

     @ErikUden And also there is a list of movies that mustn't be aired on that day, including "The live of Brian".
