Tweeting for Sweden

Those of you who are fans of the Colbert Report know that he's been having some fun over the past week with the Swedish Twitter account, @Sweden, which lets a Swedish citizen take over the account, uncensored, for a week. Remember, Stephen Colbert is the guy who campaigned and won to get his name on a treadmill on the Space Station and who tried really hard to get his name on a bridge in Hungary. What does he think of the @Sweden account?

He wants to be the one tweeting it for a week, nationality be damned, and so has launched the Twitter campaign, #artificialswedener.

I love this guy.

Right now, Sweden is rebuffing him. But Minneapolis' own American Swedish Institute sent him a letter, inviting him to take over its Twitter account for a day. (Click that link to see the letter and one of the Colbert videos.)

You go, American Swedish Institute! And Stephen Colbert, take up that challenge!
