sure.

marko im'ed that to me earlier and the key thing that was brought to mind was my old idea of the finnish mafia, a super-secret organization that is so low-key but widestretching that the italian mafia, russian gangsters and japanese yakuza all have to appease the finns, otherwise, they wake up in a snowbank with an empty bottle of vodka stuck up each arse.

of course, this might actually be true and i just blew their cover.
paska.

no matter, the hammer looks to be a solid satirical newspaper, in the vein of the equally canadian toque, the venerable onion, the cheeky australian chaser (with their own televised forum cnnnn) and of course, the daily show.
