libertangoThe Local ("Sweden's News In English") has an interview with Doug Lansky, who apparently has started a satire site, Faktumé. Since Mr. Lansky is an American, he also has an English version. He says he's trying to emulate The Onion, and it's actually not bad. Sample headlines:
* "Queen Sylvia Shows Off New Tiara – ‘’Only 75kr on Blocket!”"
* "Flag Burning in Pakistan Ignites Swedish Economy"
(which is related to...)
* "Christ Demands Own Roundabout Dog Illustration – “Equal treatment or the Second Coming is off!''"
(these both refer to a Swedish newspaper publishing cartoons of Mohammad... Because the Swedes couldn't let the Danes have all the fun. This segues to...)
* "Defense Minister Mikael Odenberg Signs Contract to Defend for Denmark"
(this is in reference to the recent resignation of the Defense Minister because his department was being subject to sharp budget cuts.)
