I'm kinda unsure whether this is real or not... I mean, it can't be real, right? But it looks and sounds so real!

The best thing about it is that even though they're kinda goofy and weird, most of these guys are actually pretty endearing! If I was a girl I'd date the heck out of them!

Best bits:
* The chubby middle-aged guy going: "No fatties, no hampsters(?!), no dopers, no smokers, no alcoholics, no Don Juanitas (well, at least he didn't say "sluts"), no posers, no crazies..."
* The guy at 3:54 imitating a TV commercial voiceover. It's so funny!
* The viking, of course.

You gotta admire the viking: at least whoever answers his ad knows what she's getting!

That was odd. I had a make-out buddy once who was a vacuum kisser. I can't even begin to describe how weirdly this guy kissed. It was so awful. He ruined one of the best things ever.
Also, the scenes in the park of that video are here in the Boston Public Gardens!

The viking reminded me of you in a way, Tuomas, but that is bcz I have wacky American ideas about what Scandinavians are like.

Except that there never were vikings in Finland. (Nor are we a part of Scandinavia.) But I'm fine with those wacky ideas.

I know Finland isn't Scandinavian technically, but I think it is in a lot of American minds, and Wikipedia backs me up here. The reasoning = cold+umlauts+blondes = Scandinavia?
