Controversy

On the sixth anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, Blauenfeldt stated on the Danish television program Aftenshowet or The Evening Show:

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but my initial thoughts were-- "Hey? It’s the
Americans! Now, they're getting spanked. This serves them right!"

One of his co-hosts asked, "Did you really think that?" He replied:

Yes, I'm not even lying and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it. But it was like--
"Finally, someone is striking back!”

The network did not rebroadcast the program as planned. Lisbet Lambert, DR's news division head, said Blauenfeldt violated employee rules and regulations. Blauenfeldt has responded that he regrets his statement and considers himself "utterly not anti-american".

Blauenfeld later gained fame, by claiming that the radioshow De sorte spejdere had unlawfully used the sound of his laughter. A claim the hosts admitted to and apologized for by playing the recording, which was revealed to be the sound of a man vomiting, on the air.

gollark: You are clearly more patient than me.
gollark: This is cool at 2x speed.
gollark: Or humans or some other species will beat entropy, hack the universe and stop anything from dying ever.
gollark: I mean, ultimately, long after the last stars burn out, the fuel of giant stars of the bright, early universe we live in having long been exhausted, giving way to red dwarves which will themselves slowly fade to black, the matter in them having decayed (possibly), there will be nothing but slowly evaporating black holes. And eventually even these will vanish, leaving nothing but electromagnetic radiation being slowly redshifted, with no energy gradients able to sustain life.
