In recent days, an online article from the Nyhetshjulet satire site has flourished. Here they report that the movie “Three Nuts for Cinderella” will not be shown on NRK on Christmas Eve. The article also claims that at the time of writing this article has been read almost 80,000 times since it was published.
In the article, the satire website writes that the film is removed from the screen because it can be offensive to people allergic to nuts. That’s after Dplay removed the 2011 “Santas over forest and hello” Christmas calendar, following accusations of racism.

The article, which was published four days ago, has caused many to react.
Shipped as usual
NRK audience service information consultant Stian Kolsing denies the rumor to Dagbladet and says the film is shown normally.
– We have received a total of 32 inquiries since the beginning of December from people who are concerned that the film will not be shown. People are really desperate, he says.
Kolsing says they are working to answer inquiries, also on Facebook threads. There have also been inquiries on the NRK news department’s advice portal. The news director confirms to Dagbladet that they have received more in the last few days, but they do not have a clear figure for how many.
Here you see the Christmas movies of this year
The head of public service, Carina Berge, tells Dagbladet that this has happened before.
– It happens every year that people are fooled by such nonsense. It happens both at Christmas and before May 17. There are many who are upset and believe what they read, says Berge.
The NRK television guide states that the film will be screened at the usual time, on December 11, 24.
Satire side
Faktisk.no has previously emphasized that Nyhetshjulet is a website that is dedicated to satire, after it became known that several of its articles were among the most attractive on social media last year. In articles, the image of the case was often marked with the word “satire,” but when the cases were shared on Facebook, this mark disappeared.
In the case of “Three Nuts for Cinderella”, it was not noted that it was not true, even though the categories “Humor” and “Satire” are at the top of the website.
These are Faktisk.no’s advice on how to tell if an article is satire or not:
- Click on the case itself and see if it’s marked satire.
- Check other problems on the website. Are they marked satire or do they appear like this?
- Examine what it says about the website itself. Is it said somewhere that it is a site of humor or satire?
- Check who shares on Facebook. Is there a group or site that tends to share themes of humor or satire?
