Former Belgian basketball player Pieter Loridon (aka The Bomb, Antwerp Giants #11) is sick of the media portraying youngsters solely as being either agressive, or antisocial, or alcoholic, or anorexic and so on (as you might have noticed: so far, I did'nt get any further than the letter 'a').

The result of his frustration: www.theokgeneration.com, an organisation for kids who are OK and who are proud to be so.
I would be lying if I said I used to be a big fan of his (he played for the wrong team instead of the right one, after all :-) ), but he was a great player and he's never been afraid of ventilating his opinion in an outspoken fashion. For that, I tend to respect him. This time too, I can see his point.
Are there any other similar projects abroad as well, I wonder? If so, let me know. After all, I too believe the kid's alright:
The Kid's Allright: One of the best songs ever written! Best guitarsolo ever!
Thank you for reminding me that I have this song on CD...
