Swedes ain't what they used to be.

There was a time when even the appearence of Viking ships would strike fear into the inhabitants of coastal areas. Times have changed, I guess. How else to take that Swedes have joined a Facebook site (100,000 of them) that bemoans how scared they are after seeing the video of Adina Folin advertising in a commercial for APOLIVA cosmetics? Here is the video:

How the appearence of a tall, aneroxic person who is dressed as a woman scares people is beyond me. Perhaps they envision themselves waking up and looking like her: an aneroxic denizen of the night, who lives on booze and drugs. The explanation why she was picked as a "super model" is to provide us with a different look that might cause talk. It did that!
