Paging dabitch or anyone else who speaks Swedish: what does the sign in this pic say? The pic makes me laugh... snowman unrest!
Great photo!

My guess: "Better Living Conditions"

I think it's something to do with a Snowman's Union.

I think it's Danish rather than Swedish - in which case dabitch would still be a good person to ask... but I think taz has nailed it already.

Theolem's profile says he's in Norway. This page translates bedre as better and leve[r] and live[s] so taz is probably right.

OK, cool then. I expected it to be some kind of global warming thing, actually.

Taz pretty much nailed it, and it's Norweigan. Straight up it menas "better life conditions" as in , yaknow, more food on the tables, safer jobs maybe, better space to live in, vacations/time off, school for the kids... that sort of thing. Maybe yaknow, some actual cold so the snowmen don't melt (and thus die).

(I don't think I'm doing a very good job at translating the humor that is apparent when you read it in norweigan, and look around at the poor winter we've all had this year. But trust me, it's funny.)

so yaknow, your first laugh was enterily correct! It's funny!

It could still be some statement on global warming, BP? I mean, I can't imagine snowmen appreciate it.

think of the snowmen!
