The Pirate Party has won a huge victory in the Swedish elections and is marching on to Brussels. After months of campaigning against well established parties, the Pirate Party has gathered enough votes to be guaranteed a seat in the European Parliament.

When the Swedish Pirate Party was founded in early 2006, the majority of the mainstream press were skeptical, with some simply laughing it away. But they were wrong to dismiss this political movement out of hand. Today, the Pirate Party accomplished what some believed to be the impossible, by securing a seat in the European Parliament.

If you’ve been paying attention around the Interwebs the past few days, you may have seen a bunch of stuff about ThePirateBay.org, a Sweden-based Website, going on trial in Sweden. But unless you’re really into copyright laws or downloading BitTorrent files, the whole thing might be a bit confusing. But the outcome of this case will effect copyright cases from here on out.

Basically, a bunch of companies, including Warner Bros., MGM, Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox Films, Sony BMG, Universal and EMI are suing The Pirate Bay for various copyright infringements. But since The Pirate Bay is a BitTorrent search engine and does not actual house any of the incriminating files on any of their servers, the case is not cut and dry. Plus, after only one day in trial, half of the charges have already been dropped.

Like Obama, we are quite fond of the ‘Swedish Model’. Sweden – that magical land of meatballs, IKEA, reindeer and 6-foot-tall blonds. Just the word “Swedish” brings to mind fair-haired honeys gallivanting around in the snow in blue and yellow bikinis, throwing snowballs and making out – at least it does for us. And then we came across these Swedish girl party pictures, which further confirmed our everyone’s theory that Sweden is one of the sexiest countries on the planet. There’s so much Nordic booty here, it’s like a Viking ship after a good pillaging. Enjoy!

As we can see from the picture above, there is plenty more to be excited about than just soccer in this year’s Euro2008. The diehard female supporters of this years Euro2008 teams are just one more reason why we’ve been glued to the TV for every game.

Check out the girls from yesterday’s Euro2008 matches too!

In a fit of fear inspired by terrorism and Internet crime, former privacy-is-sacred country Sweden has decided to change their laws regarding digital privacy. This week, a law will be voted on that would give Swedish government and police forces the ability to fully monitor phone, email, and Internet traffic going into and out of the country.

Additionally, because Sweden is used to routing data to its European neighbors, it would give those Agencies access to the data headed to nearby countries. That means you. (more…)

Euro 2008 (check out our Euro2008: International Soccer Crash Course) is in fully swing and the only thing better then the games them self are the sexy female fans of the teams in the tournament.

Turkey, Italy, Greece, Spain and others have sexy fans but unfortunately they don’t hold a candle to the babes of Sweden.

To get right to the point: Bill Murray was in Sweden, wasted out of his mind, driving a golf cart around a main street in Stockholm.

He faces DUI charges. From riding a golf cart. Wasted. In Sweden.

If being a Ghostbuster, star of Caddyshack, Groundhog Day and Wes Anderson’s male muse wasn’t enough to solidify his status as the Coolest Motherf***er on Planet Earth Bill Murray had to step it up a notch and get caught piss-drunk joyriding around in a golf cart in a foriegn country.

Somewhere, Nick Nolte is taking notes.
