Canada (where it's prohibited to import the stuff), USA and Australia mostly.
But be assured, there's probably a bunch of nutters doing that stuff here too
because their psychic dowsing homeopathic friend told them to do so because of
earth radiation.

Besides, the expression long outlived the career of original presenter Martin
Rudelsheim. The last thing I saw him do was some sort of infomercial on a
housewife/shopping channel back in the nineties.

If the firewall allows you to see
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Eerste_de_Beste you can read all about how the
show met its end after a guy got decapitated. They never showed that on TV though.

Why should I be kille'd by this Pixel thingy?

De Eerste De Beste was a fine show for kids back then. But we didn't have Disney
XD, Zappelin and so on back then.

So Wikipedia has an image problem in China. China seems to have the same over
here...
