That's a classic! Think I might print it and stick it on my noticeboard to brighten my days.

In Jersey City, the Indians and Sri Lankans play cricket in the park two blocks from my house. I love it.

As for Daniel Johnston... you might hear a familiar voice interviewing Daniel during some of the footage in that documentary.

Oh c'mon E-Swede... don't you dress like this on weekends?

When Ikea opened a new store in Berlin they had ads like that, except it was Turks in Swedish clothing, or with blonde wigs. I thought it was borderline racist, but apparently the Turks thought it was funny. Or else just ignored it, which they're good at doing here.
