Thought she was Norwegian, told she is Swedish

(Well, IMO she's pretty enough to be Swedish, so perhaps the authorities are right.)

"Malin Aass was shocked when Norwegian authorities refused to renew her passport and told her she was "not a Norwegian citizen." Several times a week, confused "Norwegians that are really Swedish" turn up at the Swedish embassy, shocked that despite holding Norwegian passports, they are citizens of Sweden."

Judging by the image featured in the article, I’d say she looks more Swedish than Norwegian.

At least she doesn’t look British.

Please note I’m not saying Swedish girls, objectively speaking, actually ARE prettier than British (or Norwegian) ones. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I’ve heard many British men say the UK has the prettiest women of the world (this is no irony).

By the way, an interesting comparison between Swedish and British girls (Warning! The clip features Swedish babes dressed like Swedish babes);

A lot of people say Royal Swedish Princess Madeleine is a great example of Swedish beauty (although she’s actually French-German-Swedish). I’d say some of the Madeleine images in the clip below are nice, while some are not so appealing. But overall, she’s rather pretty (for being French-German-Swedish);

Anyhow, of course Malin Aass ought to receive Norwegian citizenship if she wishes to. I think most Norwegians agree.

I guess Norway doesn’t have the “anchor baby” policy - good for them.

“I guess Norway doesn’t have the “anchor baby” policy - good for them.”

- While I agree this policy is wrong, at least in the case of Europe and the US that are threatened of becoming flooded
with aliens, it’s strange that the parents of Malin and other people in their situation haven’t received proper information from the authorities on their child’s citizenship, alternatively haven’t checked into what the rules are actually like in this area by themselves.

That’s actually a comparatively appealing image of Helen Thomas - has it been digitally manipulated?

Not nearly as bad as Hank Hill finding out that he wasn’t a Texan but was actually born in New York City.

Now that is a good name for a ping list.
And it's run by a woman, no less. I'm impressed.

Perhaps I’m being overly patriotic, but my favorite Bond girl is (Swedish-Polish) Izabella Scorupco aka Natalya Simonova in the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye.

Not only is she pretty, she’s an anti-feminist as well.

Some years ago, she described Swedish feminists as “pitiful” and in similarity to many other clear-sighted women before her, she stated that the feminists actual problem is that “they badly need a real man”.

I’ve often heard Swedish women, especially pretty ones, complain that they feel ‘guilty’ because they wish to be feminine.

Feminism has went way too far in Sweden and in recent time a major counter-reaction against this development has become apparent. One result of these changes is that several leading feminists have resigned from their former positions in different parts of society and several of them have become ‘persona non grata’.

Izabella Scorupco at her best (this song was a rather big hit in the 1990s, at least in large parts of Europe):

Just last week I came across a confused Wisconsinite who was really Minnesotan. Going to take a fortune to replace her green wardrobe with purple.
