Mark Koster: the celebration of 100 years of VPRO was as it should be, a reckoning with one’s own morals and arrogance

So they can do it, the anarchists of the VPRO. Ignore conventions and make a fool of yourself. The VPRO reunion broadcast was a classic, because it contained irony and self-mockery and was not full of boastful nonsense like the centenary of BnnVara. That was an embarrassing self-congratulatory show in which Marcel van Dam’s nasty attack on Pim Fortuyn (‘you are an inferior person’) was missing.
