The Danish Poet is the short film that won the Oscar for short film this year. Here's a website with the film in streaming video that i want to share with my friends. The problem is that people in the US can't seem to play the video. They're blocking the content to US users somehow. Is there any way my friends can use to get around it?

Any Danish Metafiltarians? The Danish Christmas tree is partially decorated with small strings of flags and I'm trying to figure out how to put them on the tree without making them look like ass. Anyone with non-Danish Christmas tree flag decorating experience feel free to chime in . . .

What's up with Scandinavian languages? Norwegians tell me that Danish and Norwegian are written the same, but spoken much differently. Swedes tell me than Danes can understand them but not the other way around. I've also heard that on some European airlines they use a simplified version that all Scandinavians can understand. What's the deal?
