Tuo esitys kun tuosta etenee niin meillehän nauravat harakatkin :wall:
Johan se alkaa maailmalla herättämään hilpeyttä ja edistämään suomikuvaa. Vanhas-Mattikin sopivasti jenkeissä 'myymässä' suomea.

" Sometimes you just have to take your hat off to some of the ways that governments dream up to mess with our lives. Today we offer a salute to the government of Finland for a brilliant example of creative governance.
We all know that many countries want to control (tax) online gaming revenues, which generally means they want their citizens to only gamble on their state controlled sites. The problem with that is, of course, all of these countries have trade agreements and restricting gambling online violations those treaties. So we hear endlessly about Antigua, White Zones, UIGEA, ad nauseum.
The truly innovative regulators from the Finnish Ministry of Health have stepped up with an idea so far ahead of its time that we simply must tip our clown hats to them. They have proposed allowing all Finnish citizens full access to any and all gaming sites online with no restrictions. Oh, except that every citizen of Finland who loses money playing online, would have the right to sue their credit card company or bank for those losses. You see it would be illegal to lose money online. You see gambling, including poker, is a pyramid scheme to move money from the losers to the winners. You gotta love the illogic. Not to mention the sheer creativity of the proposal.
Don't be shocked but Finland has been added to the European Union's list of countries that are currently in dispute over compliance with EU trade and tariff regulations concerning online gaming.
You have to admit, it was creative! "
