edit: one that I'm actually quite jealous of. I would have seen 5x the amount of PJ shows I've seen if I didn't have to drive 10 hours each way with nothing but wheat and cows as my scenery. Sweden and the US have Canada beat in that regard. I'd actually give the edge to Sweden (but more broadly, any european country), since you can hop a damn train to any show you want and not have to worry about driving.Post edited by HughFreakingDillon onHugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

So what do you have for us? Cause we have a lot for you. Even Trump. Hell, he provides you with something, even if it's only something to bitch about.https://youtu.be/xFrGuyw1V8s
I actually checked some famous Swedish people to be fair. There's Ivan Drago, the nihilist from the Big Lebowski (or Slippery Pete from Seinfeld if you prefer), Tiger Woods' ex-wife, and a bunch people I've never heard of. https://www.thefamouspeople.com/sweden.php
No Pearl Jams or Ocasio-Cortezs over there. That's too bad. I can understand why you're so obessed with America. You got shit.
Otherwise you are pretty correct. Yes. The nihilist (Peter Stormare) from The Big Lebowski etc are swedish."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

and geography to see your favourite band isn't a positive characteristic of your country, it is characteristic of your state.

It's very fascinating.
Should be noted that by all accounts ASAP Rocky and his people beat up a person with broken bottles.
But Eddie Vedder will force Pearl Jam to boycott Sweden because, as stated he (and Trump) is "taking note".Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

and to address the "does everything have to be about trump?" question, no, it doesn't. but a pissing contest about celebrity makes it relevant.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0

Anyway, I'm not "riled up" in a "Hey fuck you man! How dare you diss America!" way. I'm "riled up" (I guess) in a "I don't take this thread seriously at all so I'm going to post a .gif of Tom Green with his bum on the Swedish" way.
