We like arouse feelings, but we absolutely do not want to aggravate anybody," said Schreil.

I'm getting aroused by girlie, not aggravate.
Well, sometimes.

I have the feeling that the Swedish Consumers Association is their version of our Science in the Busy Body Interest.

They came out again today and said Chinese food is bad. I think that's just racist.

Sweedie Cream?

Not a bad idea, but people will confuse with Swedish Cream:

However, that's childplay.

Have you heard about Swedish Negro B*lls/N*gger B*lls?

I am by no means a racist, although I confess to be a very politically incorrect person.

Anyhow, here's some info regarding one of the most popular Swedish pastries. Again, no offense;

"The traditional name for the pastry is negerboll ("negro b*ll"), but due to its arguably offensive character, the name has fallen out of favor. The most common alternative is "chokladboll," although it can be considered misleading because the pastry does not contain any chocolate. Some people choose to call it kokosboll ("coco ball"), which is even more misleading since that is already the name of a completely different gelatin-based pastry. A popular producer of the pastry, Delicato, have chosen to call it "Delicatoboll."

In 2003, bakery owner Agneta Andersson from Sjöbo was reported to the Swedish Ombudsman against Ethnic Discrimination for using the word "negerbollar" on a sign in her bakery shop. However, the case was dismissed since the woman reporting it did not consider herself personally insulted."

"we absolutely do not want to aggravate anybody"

- I certainly do not wish to aggravate and aggrieve Mr Schreil by aggregating or agglutinating severe accusations of girlie-girlieness to him or any of his well paid colleagues, but if I had the chance, I would not hesitate to force a set of oversized, splintery ice cream sticks up his nostrils.

Ah, The Zip Gun That Helped Win WWII! I once saw one of those things at a gun show -- they look even cruder in person than in a photo. If I was in the European or Asian resistance, I would have been so embarassed to pack one that I would have IMMEDIATELY used mine to capture a REAL firearm, which I suppose was the intent.

It seems that Sveriges Konsumentråd has gone flying off the handle over this ice cream. They are running around like, well, a bunch of little girls.

- I don't know what part of the world you're from, but in any case, our standard of living most likely is superior to yours and our nine year olds probably tower above scholars from your dwellings in the area of mastering the english language.

I'll prove to you European snobs that our standard of living IS superior to yours after I get all the junked automobiles out of my front yard. And our English ain't worst than your nine-year-olds!

"I question whether there is a demand," said secretary general Jan Bertoft.

Attention moron: if there's no demand, then nobody will buy it... therefore, you don't have to worry about it.

Of course, you don't believe your lie, which is obvious. The fact that you don't think the voters can figure it out shows what you really think of your constituency.
