English as spoken by Finns

As exemplified by former prime ministers Paasikivi (1952), Jäätteenmäki (2003), and Vanhanen (circa 2006). And of course Mika Häkkinen is a classic on this front, not only for his accent but also for his demeanor.

LBJ Buys Pants

noemail@noemail.org (Ilya) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 12:37:24 +0200

LBJ Buys Pants. "In 1964, Lyndon Johnson needed pants, so he called the Haggar clothing company and asked for some. The call was recorded (like all White House calls at the time), and has since become the stuff of legend. Johnson’s anatomically specific directions to Mr. Haggar are some of the most intimate words we’ve ever heard from the mouth of a President."

NSFW. The titles are surprisingly bad and hilarious — if a bit disturbing. One obvious one: “Of Course She Loves a Horse”. Just goes to show that this stuff has been around way before the Net.
