Today in FUN we'll be looking at some famous Swedes.
1 & 2. Lasse Berghagen (Lassie Mountainmeadow) and Loket (The Train). Two extremely popular and respected Swedish television personalities. The Train is the little fat one.
3. Pippi Lockstocking (with friends). Pippi is a fictional character and does not exist at all.
4. Lukas Moodysson. Lukas directed some movies before vanishing into obscurity. He was most famous for sometimes wearing bear-ears in public. In the photo he is using hand gestures to tell his critics to Shut the Fuck Up.
5. Lukas again, seen here with his posse of actors. To the right in the picture is Loa Falkman (Leo Hawkman), one of Sweden's top singers and racenteurs. Loa/Leo is also an actor and a baryton.
6. Bonus Swedish Fun Image! Is is a fake movie poster for a movie called "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing" in Swedish. The title could be interpreted as anti-Semitic but I think it is just intended as some good old ripping FUN.

Racist Swedish Subtitle "Humor"
Posted by Koala Mentala at 1:40 pmBefore I wrote and directed the Emmy Award-winning violent ballet (or "violet") Naheem the Sardine, I tried out the subtitle creator by making this gritty subway drama I like to call Bus på buss [English title: Pranky Bus Pranx Starring Benny Bow Tie and Chagall.].
I wasn't gonna post it (or even show to anyone) because a) it's in Swedish and b) it could be seen as racist and c) the subtitles are poorly synced and d) it's not very funny. But then I realized that's exactly why I had to post it!
Incidentally, Matthew's second weird office tale takes a strong stand against racism. Racism = Rong.

Monkeys Love Bananas
Posted by Koala Mentala at 5:37 pmMonkeys heart bananas. They do, it's a fact, you can't deny it. If you do I say you're a liar and a rasist and a rapist. Rape is no laughing matter. (I've never been raped but I imagine it's probably not much fun. Unless it's a play rape, like in role-playing or somesuch. That might be fun for some. To each his own.) Today I heard the birds singing and the badgers digging. They dug in their heels. I'm a healer and a lover and a loather and a fighter, in that order. I fight for Spain.
