Copenhagen: Club Kids Gone Wild

News just in: Club kids in London like Wow!Wow! are being flown to Japan to DJ and party with yellow club kids with names like Darker Than Cancer.
In Denmark, the club kids are gluing fake beards to their faces and walking around the dancefloor carrying fake AK-47s and well-thumbed copies of the Koran.
Michael Alig would be proud. Btw, isn't he up for parole soon?

Vice: Hey club kid. Why did you call your club "Jihad"?
Fredrik Bille Brahe: There is sympathy in the name. We live in Denmark, the most racist country in Scandinavia. The whole idea of Jihad is a stereotype of Muslims held by many Danes, and we're trying to poke a little fun of that. We're trying to make people relax a little, and not take everything so serious.

Ok, I'm not sure I'm feeling completely relaxed yet…
You can come to Club Jihad and do whatever you want. That's one of the ideas behind calling the club Jihad—it's all right, we can do it. There's no Jihad to be found at Club Jihad. Why CAN'T we poke fun of the jihad? You know, the word Jihad doesn't even mean "holy war," it's about aiming for a higher goal in life, and that might very well be something as simple as living your life for partying, or having babies. Whatever.
