One of Finland’s redeeming qualities is that they show the Conan O’Brien show on television twice a day here. I haven’t had access to a television all the time, but I’ve still managed to catch a few shows. Man, have I missed Conan.
Of course, being in Finland and watching Conan reminded me of a segment on the show a while back in which he tried to individually insult all the nations of the world and illicit some sort of hate-mail response in the form of postcards. It was called “Conan Hates My Homeland.” A lot of postcards came in from Finland, funnily enough, even before Conan got the chance to insult them.
Thanks to the glorious internet, I’ve found clips of these moments:
First postcard arrives (4.3 mb)
Many more postcards arrive (30 mb) I had to remove the clips from my site.
Watch them quick, because I’ll probably be taking them down from my server in a week or two.
