My New Favourite Thing In The World: Euro 2012 Fake Tabloid Wars

First there was “The Danish Way to Rock.” Then there was the massive Russia flag smuggled into the stadium.  Now the Swedes have out British tabloided the English with this fake tabloid mockup ahead of the England-Sweden game.

Not to be outdone, the Daily Mirror responded with this:

Here’s the headline translations from the Mirror:

SVERIGES STÖRSTA FEL – Sweden’s biggest failure

OLOF DU SWEDE – Olof you Swede

IKEA KONKORS Ikea is bankrupt

JAG ÄR HUMPERDINCK’S KÄRLEKSBARN – Eurovision winner is Engelbert Humperdinck’s love child

CHOCK! ABBA ÄR VERKLIGEN NORSKA – ABBA are Norwegian

BASTU HÄLSORISKER? – Sauna health risks?

And just for the hell of it, here’s “The Danish Way To Rock” again.

About Daniel P. Finney

A misanthrope, iconoclast and general grouch since the late 1980s, Daniel P. Finney has been a professional paragraph stacker since 1993. He reports. He writes. He blogs. He tweets. He beats deadlines. He amuses (himself, at least.) He informs. He adapts. He keeps moving forward. He eschews gatherings. The highlights of his week are Sunday chicken wings, new comics Wednesday and naps during televised sporting events. He does not wonder if there is a player to be named later in his life and spends most of his waking hours desperately trying to be left alone.
