After the highs of the launch of the Euro, the EU has gone all limp. While we get to hear the nashing of teeth from Mr Prodi about UK membership, the Swedes have more to complain about.
The Swedes are complaining that Euro coins’ map of Europe is an insult to Swedish virility. The coins feature Sweden without its neighbour Norway, who declined the offer to join the EU. Alas this ends up depicting what looks to be a limp penis. Brussels denies this and describes it as an accurate rendering of the country. I have seen the new coin and I have to report that all in attendance agreed that Sweden is depicted as a “willy”. In fairness to the artist the willy does include an ample testicle sack. The Swedes could not sue him for depicting their country as being “testicularily challenged.”
Sweden’s invisible (well at least to the EU) neightbour, Norway, is sticking its collective fingers up to the EU. Norway is currently alligning itself with OPEC in the latest discussions over oil prices. Not that you can blame them, since Norway’s decision not to join the utopian experiment the country has been getting a hard time from the EU. Lumbering the EU with higher oil prices seems a fair way of getting back at the country’s bullying southern neighbour.
