A dress to the opera -- shocking
This has to be some kind of German humor that we're just not getting in translation. How could it be at all noteworthy that a woman in public life wore a low-cut dress to the opera?
Haven't Europeans been seeing things like this for, oh, like about five hundred years?
Well (you say), not so much for those sober-minded Scandinavians. Fine — call it two centuries instead.
I'm relieved to find that at least American society isn't alone in being plagued by idiotic journalism.
