The cat-and-mouse game of big media versus the Pirate Bay and its various proxies, IP addresses, and tunnelling equipment, has just been pre-emptively extended with a brand new domain name: thepiratebay.gl. Seems Sweden tried to take its .se domain back. Read More >>
Whether you chalk it up to the hyper-realism of today's video games or an overzealous neighborhood watch program, it's hard to blame the Swedish police who responded to a frantic call reporting what sounded like a brutal massacre. The ten-man team raided the apartment to find a group of teenagers in the midst of a gratuitous and abhorrent bloodbath. Just another friendly night in playing Call of Duty. Read More >>

You're looking at what was once the main junction for telephone connections in Stockholm. See all the wires? That's because it was used for around 5,000 phone lines—literal lines—from 1887-1913. Read More >>
Last night in Saltsjöbanan, Sweden, a young woman decided to try her hand at driving a train. It didn't end well: she careered off the end of line and straight into this house. Read More >>

The Swedes are well known to be quite the technologically savvy nation, having awesome broadband speeds and one of the highest mobile phone usages in the world.

Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm was recently scooped up by Cambodian authorities in Phenom Penh at the request of the Swedish government. Just yesterday Cambodia agreed to send him back to Sweden to serve his year-long jail sentence for creating the Pirate Bay. Turns out the Swedes might have paid HUGE for Cambodia's cooperation.

No sooner had we reported that Gottfrid Svartholm -- the founder of Pirate Bay -- had been arrested and locked up in Cambodia, the Swedish authorities have yet again put another request in. This time, to deport the guy. Read More >>

Earlier this month, representing her country from the @sweden Twitter account, Sonja Abrahamsson grabbed her 15 minutes by the balls and gave them an impressive tug. Irreverent, frank, and wildly popular, the 27-year-old mother of two doubled the account's followers with her controversial statements.

Trust the Swedes to take big and busty to the limit. As part of a Swedish channel’s jungle-based reality TV show, Djungelns Drottning (Queen of the Jungle), one of 10 "beautiful big city girls" suffered a breast implant explosion. Apparently the mud wrestling challenge was too much for the mammary-maximiser. Read More >>
