Trinelise Vaering - Lille stripper (video)
Trinelise Vaering seems to be having a rough go with her single "Lille stripper" -- first the title was censored by iTunes, now the video is being put behind an age-restricted wall at YouTube.

Which of course makes for good copy as Gaffa has picked up on, but more importantly: the song and the video are actually really good and worth checking out.
