Or not...

French-speaking public broadcasting network La Une interupts its prime time programs for a special news bulletin: Flanders has declared its independence.

Belgian political heavyweights don't think this is funny.

eta: From [livejournal.com profile] sister_luck comes this BBC news article for the linguisticaly challenged. Note though that the broadcast lasted for 2 hours, but not the spoof, as the subtitle of the photograph incorrectly says.

(First link in French, second in Dutch. Information from rtbf itself can be found here.)
