...Barbarellah, tel: (45) 3332 0061, a café, restaurant, lounge bar and fashion store. Barbara Bascunan and her brothers Daniel and Pablo opened the café, which is full of their customized flea-market acquisitions, last July, and virtually everything is up for grabs. "You can basically buy everything except the bartenders," says Daniel, who sees himself as part of a new movement of café innovators in Copenhagen.

Cut to the seven slowly withdrawing from their feast, and, presto, Maier has disappeared. That's the end -except for the closing credits, where we find that "Julio" was played by "Mexican Anonymous. The lighting cameraman was Dutch Anonymous, the script girl Belgian Anonymous and the assistant editor: English Anonymous. The whole Anonymous family worked on this...

That's because I haven't seen a porn video, or digito, whatever they call them, in decades. Except once, a few years ago, in a hotel, for about five minutes...
