AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - The camera focuses on two gay men kissing in a park. Later, a topless woman emerges from the sea and walks onto a crowded beach. For would-be immigrants to the Netherlands, this film is a test of their readiness to participate in the liberal Dutch culture.

If they can't stomach it, no need to apply.
Despite whether they find the film offensive, applicants must buy a copy and watch it if they hope to pass the Netherlands' new entrance examination.
The test — the first of its kind in the world — became compulsory Wednesday, and was made available at 138 Dutch embassies.
Taking the exam costs $420. The price for a preparation package that includes the film, a CD ROM and a picture album of famous Dutch people is $75.
"As of today, immigrants wishing to settle in the Netherlands for, in particular, the purposes of marrying or forming a relationship will be required to take the civic integration examination abroad," the Immigration Ministry said in a statement. |

| Hmm, I always find these immigration tests a little odd as most of the countries citizens would probably fail them (well maybe not most but a good portion). |

Well the thing is they didnt specify if she was hot or not. If you have newer seen a whale on a toples beach live (no sadly by whale i don not mean the one living in the ocean) you might not understand the horror :nervous: |

I don't think this would deter ed up mullahs from settling in the Netherlands, considering how many (by no means a majority) of them are closet pedophiles and homosexuals.
EDIT: Although I guess it would result in a more homogenous "liberal" populace (which I don't think is necessarily a good thing). |

well the article says its mandatory for those wishing to immigrate to marry or forming a relationship... so probably not for minors or whatever the marrying age is. |
