Gerry Brownlee gets ‘served’ by Finland
March 27, 2012

High level Government minister Gerry Brownlee has apologised for disparaging remarks about Finland, when he described Finns as uneducated, unemployed murderers who don’t respect women.

The storm started over comments Mr Brownlee made in Parliament last week in response to Labour leader David Shearer’s speech calling for New Zealand to follow in Finland’s footsteps.

Finnish media picked up the story and said Mr Brownlee caused embarrassment to their country, while a Facebook page has also been set up calling for him to travel to Finland to “learn some facts”.

Funny and SHOCKING youtube video reply

I couldn't believe this when I first heard it.
How could a man who thinks it is smart to randomly insult a friendly nation become acting Prime Minister?
Maybe next time they (powers that be) will leave me in charge :roll: .
How many Kiwis where as embarrassed :oops: as me over this?
