4* ExecutiveMeddling: The album ''"De Wensring"'' was meant to be a satire on Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. However, since the president was considered to be a friend of the Belgian government Sleen was forced to draw a beard on Amin's face to make him "unrecognizable". In later albums Sleen Idi Amin appeared again, but this time without a beard, because by then he had fallen out of favor with the Western world.
5* LifeImitatesArt: In ''“De Grote Geheimzinnigaard”'' Nero wishes real life drug baron Pablo Escobar to the moon. Coincidentally the criminal was shot by the police later that same year.
