This is linked to Nightwish.com Forum: Comment from a British teenager: “My favourite bit about that link is in the comments section where the nationalists completely misunderstood the entire video.”

“6….If possible take at least a day trip to Tallinn Estonia,and visit old city…There are some new high-speed state of the art ferries that cross to Tallinn from Helsinki…”

About 20 minutes by helicopter – if you dare.

Winter…here are travel tips for you when in Suomi:

1.Speak softly and tell everyone how wonderful Finland is…
2. Lie to all Finns around you..”I did not ever vote for Dubya Bush,and I hope Barak Hussein Obama is the nest president of AmeriKKKa!!
Those very important lies will open doors for you and Finns will try to get you drunk,and into sauna and then lake!
3.Test all forms of vodka ,olut,lakka,and various exotic Finn drinks.
4….Try reindeer stew with lingonberry sauce and potatoes,and all the traditional accompanying foods and rituals…
5…. make sure you try Karjalan Pirakka (Karelian pasties) with warm egg butter.
6….If possible take at least a day trip to Tallinn Estonia,and visit old city…There are some new high-speed state of the art ferries that cross to Tallinn from Helsinki…Better yet,stay one night at least in VIRU SOKOS hotel and have fun time in Tallinn…Estonia likes it’s friendship with Amerikkka!!
Hotel VIRU breakfast buffet is KILLER!

Rauhoittukaa.

I love how a silly spoof turns into all this nationalistic posturing. Keep in mind The Colbert Report is ALL ABOUT spoofing the US; our culture, religions, politics, media etc. etc. So, now Finland got the Colbert bump. Is that a bad thing?

It’s true we have all been lazy in learning Finnish so let’s start. American tourists, when you visit Finland, if you learn nothing else, make sure you can say, Saisinko salmiakkia, and prepare for an unprecedented culinary experience.

Does anyone know how to save those Comedy Central videos to the hard drive? YouTube videos are easy to save, but this one is something very different. When watching a YouTube video, the player requests an flv or mp4 file and starts downloading it. If you can recover the name (URL) of the file, you can save it. The Comedy Central video player sends a request and then little packets of data start coming back. Don’t really know how to save them.

“why you dont try to speak Finnish”

I do, when I can visit, which is next month.

No tar and feathers please, the feathers just stick to me and the tar can’t be used in my jetski.
