Well, while poking around IMDB for a release date I found an overly sensitive type in the comments who was upset about percieved Viking stereotyping:
well my ancestors were Vikings and i was a little affended by the trailer, not terribly much, but i dont think that they should have portrayed them as ten foot monsters that have no feelings and are bearly human. i mean they were real people too, but i will admit that in thier pagine years they were quite brutal. anyway i'm just rambling, but i do wish that they would put the vikings in better light like in the 13th warrior
Which gave us a laff.
But of course, this being the internet, any post of such dubious merit sows the seeds of its own humiliation, which came in the form of this reply:

Ah. You're Swedish.
Those of us that are descended from Norweigens and Danes actually ARE ten feet tall and more animal than man.
Sorry about your luck, Olaf.
Pardon me while I wipe away a tear to better appreciate the beauty of teh internet.
That is HEEsterical.

I do like those gummy fish the Swedes make though ;)
