Funny part is that they've got more stuff to add.

I think their real beef is with Nokia, though.

National symbol of Finland, that is used on cars registered in Finland is nowadays "FIN" - first three letters of name of the country "Finland". But on some older cards in Finland you can notice letters "SF" that has been abolished however. Why? Because people thought that it means "Soviet Finland" and the original meaning "Suomi Finland" was lost.


I was wondering about that hmm. When did they change it btw? I thought it was after the fall of the SU anyway

It's all true! Except this bit: "Finnish is actually an Asian language, not an indo-European language like most of languages used in Europe."

Er... Indo-European Languages? Those Indo European Languages? That all originate from bloody Sanskrit and stuff?

Er... Finno-Ugric Languages? Those Finno-Ugric Languages? That according to recent research were in fact spoken in most of eastern and northern europe before the indo-europeans arrived? And even before the (admittedly debatable) symbolic and craft-based links between Cro-Magnon man and later Finno-Ugric culture was considered from partially inside and partially outside europe, clustered on both sides of the Ural mountains?

According to rumors I've heard (from Muro), the "author" is a former Nokia employee from Tampere, Finland. Name Jacek Rutkowski. He was fired and accused of industrial espionage. Nowadays he's just a lame Polish troll.

And the "article" itself contains 99% trolling and 1% truth (he spelled Finland and Nokia right). And yes, we have high taxes, but so do the rest of the nordic countries.

The article is even funnier if you know anything (besides the date Finland got independence) about the history of Finland. And it's even more funny, if you consider that the writer is Polish!

Pah. Amateur.

He waffles on for ages in an attempt to prove that Finland is "lame and boring", and fails. In about a quarter of the length I think I made a strong case for proving all Finns are manifestations of the Antichrist.

Well, I think some of his stuff was funny..

.. but what do you say, let's make another site, with that site on it, and about our counterattack? Let's get all volunteers from Muro and put our busy fingers to work?
That would be even funnier .

Even better: how about gathering all those 1337 |-|4x0|25 (<---- did I do that correctly?) from Muro and do something nasty to that site (not that I'm encouraging people to do anything illegal, or am I? ).

Really? I didn't know that, because I'm not one of those leet haxors. You have a point, but how can we get any publicity to a such site? And it would have to be very well written, much better than that Rutkowski trolls site.
