Our famous "kiss" travels on around the Globe...

| May 8, 2009 | 0 comments

Have you by chance seen the two features from Sweden that were aired recently on the popular American comedy show "The Daily Show", and which are now circling the Globe in various "social media"? If not, check them out, because they're quite funny and more than a bit viscious, with famous comedian Wyatt Cenac visiting Stockholm in wintertime, surrounded by trademark Swedish blondes, conducting amusing interviews with people like ex trade minsiter Leif Pagrotsky and ABBA star Björn Ulweaus (labeled "two bearded gnomes"...). The programmes are called "The Stockholm Syndrome", alluding to Sweden being used in the propaganda by Barack Obama's political enemies. The shows makes some prime Sweden promotion in any case, that's for damned sure, so our dear clients at The Swedish Institute should be complemented for acting swift in helping facilitate the production of the shows. At the end of the second show, there are a few clips from our dear official Swedish image film, including, of course, the notorious "kiss" which became so controversial. We're still amazed that an innocent kiss between two adult women can arouse powerful emotions still in this day, but we're greatful for the attention regardless.

Go in and see our Sweden film on Sweden's official website Sweden.se, why not, and read all those touching comments from people from all around our entire Globe.

PS. Speaking of Sweden's international image, our official Swedish tourist catalogue Sweden 09 (see further down in this column) is now available in complete digital versions on Sweden's internationally much awarded official tourist website www.visitsweden.com. DS.
