Should I dance on this butter, or smuggle it into a foreign country for a profit? Yesterday I had to ask myself that question, which had never crossed my mind, and the stories that lead to those thoughts will never leave my mind. Neighbors that border by land and sea brought this ponder upon me. Due to a poor farm season and fat heavy diet fads, Norway has run out of butter. And Sweden is looking to capitalize.
Below we have Lilith Performance Art Studio in Sweden displaying a girl emoting through an interpretive dance routine while standing atop slabs of butter, as if its not precious.
Next we have a sign posted at a Norwegian store noting that butter is out of stock. The headline from a Gawker story tells you everything you need to know. You can read the full story here.
Norwegian Butter Crisis Escalates as Swedes Arrested in Smuggling Scheme.
If your neighbor asks you for a stick of butter you hand it over. You don't throw it on the doormat and start dancing (But this could be very welcoming). You don't sell it to them at a marked up price. You just dig in the fridge and hand over a stick. Sweden, it's like you are pointing and laughing in so many ways...and I'm laughing with you). Norway, if you are going to call this a crisis, it's time to be resourceful.
