Shows how much americans really know about Finland. The accent is closer to swedish and the name isn't even Finnish. Granted there's a lot of swedish sounding surnames in here.

What a big disgrace...

If the guy wouldn't have said the A-Team from Finland, I'd still think they were Swedish.

You think the writers of the simpsons represent what americans think of Finland? Do you know what they really think? Nothing. Because they never even heard of the country! (true story) I tested it before! Finwhat? Who? Huh??

Or Swedish-speaking Finns, who represent 5 % of the total population.

Ah hell I just look at it as a funny joke, I mean I don't get pissed off when people from other countries think that we Americans all have deep south accents and say things like "purdy" all the time.

that's nothing most of the americans don't even know where canada is -.-...when I went to New Jersey, washington, new york, cleveland...People were asking "where do you come from?" and when I respond Montréal, Québec,Canada, they didn't even know where Canada was!!! I hope that some of them know we are neighbors...

Some of them also think that we are living in igloos in Québec...well...that's an other story...

Frenchies? You don't exist. (joking) Some really good bands come from there. Martyr, Unexpect etc.

P.S.
This is america:

To be fair, I don't think anyone south from Denmark, or maybe even outside of Finland and Sweden would know the difference(?)

Yup, I'm extremely southern. Africa what?

The fact of the matter is many countries have many misconceptions about the world outside their own.
