I've never listened to this dude, but according to the "People who bought this item also bought the following" recommendations at the bottom, I might actually like his stuff ;)

Finnish tongue twisters - like itsekseskös itkeskelet (are you crying alone) and yötyö vie työmiehen myöhään syömään (night shift gets the worker late for dinner).

And funny place names in Finland - there are for example Letku ("Hosepipe"), Myrkky ("Poison"), Pöljä ("Stupid"), Venäjä ("Russia"), Venekumottu ("A boat that is turned over"), Paukuttaja ("One who slams") and Kiero ("Twisted"). I'm not going to translate the rest of the names, but I can tell that they're not that appropriate; Homeperseensuo ("Mouldy ass swamp") and Kusipää ("Asshole") probably tell enough...

But they forgot a place called Hörhö ("Crackpot") in Lieksa...

Here's a letter the Finnish Embassy of London received recently:

Dear Sir/Madam/Ms,

According to reports in today's newspapers, the foul weather that we are experiencing in the UK is coming directly from Finland.

I respectfully request that you stop this unfriendly behaviour immediately. It is playing havoc with my plans for the garden, not to mention the heating bills.

I shall expect an improvement very soon, and will not accept any excuses! Thank you.

Made my day. Not to mention the town of Gargan in Northern Ireland having huge snow drifts, according to the article I read this from :lol:
 
Do you feel powerless? Would you like to take your frustrations out by beating on total strangers? Would you like to take advantage of hot women who can't resist authority figures? Would you like to watch the comic reactions of those who've just been Tazed? Would you like to make decent money legally, with an opportunity to pocket illicit, untaxed funds or confiscated drugs on the side?
If any of this sounds attractive, and you exist on fast food anyway, do not value long relationships, and don't mind dying prematurely from heart problems brought on by long periods of inactivity, interspersed with brief episodes of high stress, you may want to consider a career in law enforcement. Call your local recruiter today.

One street name in my hometown is a good example of Finnish words that have a double meaning. Ruiskuja is a name of a street (ruis = rye, kuja = alley), but at the same time it's also plural form of ruisku (syringe). So the word means both "Rye-alley" and "Syringes"...
