I made this today in photoshop and I must say I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It's a modified version of a classic Swedish picture, so what do you think? Here's the original:  |

| That looks llike it could have been made by the artist who created the Tiger. In short, awesome photoshopping. I'm not familar with Swedish culture or anything, why is that Tiger one a classic? And what do the words say? |

| The tiger picture was used during the second world war to raise moral if Sweden would be forced to join the war. The words actually say two things, the intended and most obvious interpretation is "A Swedish tiger", but they could also mean "A Swede says nothing" which kind of points out the prejudice about how shy the average Swede is.

| The second meaning of "En Svensk Tiger" (A Swede Is Quiet/Says Nothing) was also to tell people to not answer questions that strangers asked them, even though the questions seem very innocent or unimportant it could greatly help the enemy. I have a book from that time called "If The War Comes", I should scan it sometime. It's a very entertaining read  |
