Worst jobs (Danish perspective)
Some of the worst jobs in US science involve urine, excrement or ... ahem ... other bodily fluids. But these days, it seems, there is other unpleasantness to be found, yes even here in Denmark.
4. Moderate Danish Muslims trying get on with their everyday lives
Because, more than ever before, a bunch of ignorant right-wingers are going to make their lives unpleasant both in person, in the press and in politics.
3. Danish people working abroad
Especially those in Middle Eastern countries. After the events of the last 24 hours, this doesn't need explanation. They must feel like people from the US feel - very scared. I am gravely concerned that it is just a matter of time before the first Danish hostage is taken in the Middle East.
2. Jyllands-Posten cartoonist
That scribbling sound you hear is not cartoons being penned, but is rather that of 12 cartoonists scratching Jyllands-Posten off their CVs
1. Jyllands-Posten culture editor (Flemming Rose)
By a combination of poor judgement, Muslim extremism and bad luck a job that once meant sampling fine wines and travelling to exotic far-flung shores in the name of culture now involves furtive glances over the shoulder while skulking in and out of the public gaze. My only hope is that Flemming Rose will emerge from this somewhat the wiser.
