Distinguished shiterich

On the 10th of august 1999, drunkard and former editor in chief on Ekstra Bladet Claes Kastholm Hansen pressed a leader on the topic of the right to wear female scarfs on workplaces. The leader contradicted a leader pressed 3 days before in the same paper. This caused a rift. Unsurprisingly. What was surprisingly however was to which grotesque heights this rift would cause. It all culminated by the 23th of august when a drunk to the bone Claes Kastholm went crazy in way which must impress even Uwe Max Jensen. It began with Claes grabbing several female colleagues in an overtly sexual maner. A way trying to get laid which certainly wasn’t succesful. And when he didn’t get redemption for the impulses on that part of the lower region he sought redemption of the other part. Of he went to the office his colleague Poul Hoest Madsen and sat down and took a shit on both the the desk and couch and to top it all off, he wipped his ass on the curtains.

The drunk and obviosly out of control horny shiterich was of course fired afterwards and did also receive a lawsuit. He respondend to the aftermath in a dubiosly charming way. To the traumatised female employe he said; »It must be rough for souch a delicate being to work at a pace such as Ekstra Bladet.«. And with regards to his defacating actions he expressed that his employes had a responsibility as they should’ve helped him. Wether didn’t specify if the helped he felt they should’ve been offered implicated potty training.

What happened afterwards?:
The newspaper Berlingske quickly took him in and he actually gained a position among the cultural elite of the country, being chairman of the committee of litteratur under the States Council of Art and being a member of the kanonudvalg under the Ministry of Culture og medlem af Kulturministeriets kanonudvalg. Not bad for a man who on one occassion made a statement using his own feces.

Thanks to Gretelise Holm for the inspiration!
