The US Presidential election has started ... sort of
Thanks to the amazing power of Google Translate, you can now read this story about the US election taking place in Norway. It is remarkable not only for its content, but because the word rendered by Google Translate as "Hell" is actually Kvinesdal, a place name here on the south coast of Norway with an extreme country & western culture. I am not giving any feedback to Google to report this error.

I also cordially invite you to look around the page and enjoy the fruits of the planet's leading machine intelligence. While this means my miso soup cooking catgirl robot is still far away, it does wonders for my employment prospects.

The translation is hilarious. I'm still giggling at it. Thank you!

Reminds me of one of Stardock's games, where it crosses over with Galciv- and you can have things like Obama and McCain trying to campaign with a citizenry that wants to eat human skin and conquer the Galaxy, or have their evil overlord try to win the US presidency...
