VRT flies out of the corner with 'kissing flower whores'

World February 23, 2018 16:57

- A Facebook post from VRT Nieuws does a lot of noise on the internet. The post spoke of the long-standing tradition of 'kissing flower whores', referring to the stage masses of cycling, called flower girls in Belgium. VRT News said in a reply that it was a 'misplaced joke' and apologized.

'The long-standing tradition of kissing flower whores on the stage comes to an end', the editor of the service had written with a compilation video of iconic moments with flower girls. The term 'flower whores' was wrong for many readers.

From 'I hope this is a mistake, VRT?' To '#jesuisbloemenhoer': the reactions to the unfriendly word use are certainly not tender.
