Yay! I’m not a trekkie, but gotta give respect to Kasvi. Funny guy and he really has his act together.

This is the tipping point. I simply must move to Finland.

How large is the Star Trek subculture over there?

“(finally, the Finnish elections make international news, LOL!)”

Kind of shows the CLASS of CNN, if this makes the “global news”. Jeez. No wonder I keep wondering why anyone would voluntarely watch CNN everytime I’m forced to do it.

OK. This Klingon thing is funny, but anyway. This shows just how US-centric CNN is. Had Kasvi tranlated his pages to a language used in some language used in some weird non-US-TV-series, would CNN have noticed. Hell no.

CNN, what a fucking joke.

CNN is an American media outlet, of course it’s US-centric! What the hell did you expect? I’m sure this news would’ve been in the HS’s “Maailman ihmisiä” category if Star Trek was Finnish and Kasvi from Taiwan or something.

What do you mean by subculture? Resistance is futile!

Not really. I’m not much of a Trekkie.

LOL!!

Ahahaha he is in the green party and klingon doesnt have a word for green… man that is ironic!

Well, we already have a radio newsprogram in latin. They also had to invent new words, as the Romans were not familiar with hand grenades, suicide bombers etc.

Star Wreck was translated into klingon too

I would expect it to be global, since that is what they seem to think they are. In fact YLE seems much more global than CNN. And YLE is – finnish owned, without trying to aspire to the viewers of the globe as some kind of “global service”.

Another reason to do away with taxes and passports – make it free, Man – the Klingons would.

Thomas –

CNN being global is just an advertising trick. I thought you didn’t believe those. Besides, there are European CNN etc.

Pave:

“CNN being global is just an advertising trick. I thought you didn’t believe those.”

It seems I’m as dumb as the next guy. Somehow I thought that when CNN goes out telling the world, that we are going to be THE GLOBAL news network, they had the intention. Well, another example of US corporations that promise big, and produce much less.

@8,
if Kasvi wants a campaing song, he could try this guy: http://www.drammondt.com/english/index.php
