Wrong kind of "patriotism"

Lately I've spotted many company names which have "Suomi" in them. Suomi means Finland in Finnish. Finnish people and businesses tend to pride themselves as being honest and of strong backbone. This leads some upcoming entrepreneurs to think that it's a good idea to prefix/affix their company name with "Suomi".

Now here comes the stinging and stinking irony of it. Businesses doing this are most likely rotten to the core. They have absolutely none of those qualities that they so desperately want to be connotated with. Probably because of the parasitic nature of their business (which they are very aware of) they try to sprinkle some flakes of integrity on top of the SHITcake that is their business.

My sincerest condolences go to the legitimate, established companies that have come up with the same idea, probably years ago. I hope this new, "patriotic" wave of vampires doesn't affect your sales.
