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??

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.

In practice it took longer than that to formally declare the separation of Church and State (1905 in France) but there might have been a "where's your God now?" moment during the French Revolution.
