I have a question: why, whenever someone decides to interview a Finn about the Finnish culture, they always somehow manage to find, let alone consciously choose, the most brain dead individual available to act as the voice of the people? |

Fo: Don't forget that 6% of Finland speaks a special form of Swedish.
Dumplings: Because they really don't care about anything other than stereotypes. They love seeing Finns get drunk and viciously violent or that Finns are somehow too serious and unattractive. See comic: (A little bit NSFW http://satwcomic.com/bath-time It's BBC, they aren't exactly the most reliable news source and do exaggerate a lot. |

Fine, I'll rephrase my question: how come we have some five million people, an amount in which logically one should be able to meet all the possible kinds of loonies within a certainly short time span, such as my brief life, and yet, while I haven't ever met anyone who could actually represent those stereotypes seriously, they always manage to really find a person who is willing, even apparently proud to make Finns look like (more of) clowns to the rest of the world just for five minutes in the spotlight?
I repeat: five million people and they insist on finding and picking the most brain dead one available. For perkele's sake, this is getting ridiculous. At least he didn't say "Winter War". |

Finlands sak är vår!
[stereotypical slurs]It is a well established fact in Sweden that Finns love three things above all else. Saunas, knife fights and Kosken. It is a people with few words filled with melancholia and a yearning for Santa. They are also darn good drivers.[/stereotypical slurs]
But still, we love them. |

Well yes, ordinary people (that's, like, 99 % of the world population) need skill to do stuff. Then there is the 1 % which is born so incredibly lucky that they can just close their eyes, do something and still succeed at everything. Your ice hockey team proves on regular basis that the Swedes belong to the latter group.

Well yes, but then again, it doesn't take a whole lot of skill to beat the Finns so we can rely on luck alone. |

Perhaps they have read too many Paasilinna novels? I have to say that I love this stuff, but when I went to Finland I was not expecting to find looney millers howling at the Moon, drunken officers or journalists living with hares (more when I didn't get further north than Joensuu).
By the way, I remember a joke about Finns which went "At 10 degrees a Brit turns on central heating. A Finn does nothing. At 0 degrees a Brit turns the central heating higher. A Finn celebrates midsummer. At -10 degrees a Brit thinks it twice before going outside. A Finn puts a long-sleeved shirt. At -20 it's a national emergency in britain. A Finn buttons up his shirt. At -50 hell freezes over. A Finn says "Perkele! A bit chilly today!" |

That joke is missing a part: -114 degrees, all alcoholic beverages freeze and the Finns get mighty pissed off for not being able to store beer outside anymore. |
