Føroyar í globaliseringini

One of the recurring sketches in E elski Førjar, the Faroese version of Little Britain, is a spoof television show called Føroyar í globaliseringini (The Faroe Islands in Globalization), where a slightly-too-slick presenter played by Sjúrður Skaale interviews a Faroese person who has had a major role in some important global event. Such as the guy who shouted "Liverpool! Liverpool!" at the FA Cup final, or the girl who as-good-as-knows Brad Pitt because she lives in Seattle, which is quite close to where Brad lives. (Tveir tímar, tað er jú púrasta einki! says Skaale.)

But just like Vicky Pollard wouldn't have been funny if there weren't millions of real-life Vicky Pollards around, there must be a real-life version of The Faroe Islands in Globalization. And yes, they really do think they have a hand in global events. Did you know that Spain beat Italy in yesterday's Euro 2008 quarterfinals with Faroese help?
