I guess ol’ Jukka Mutanen must have finished his ride, because all the Finnish traffic dried up a day or two after my last post about You Know Where. But not everything in Finland is saunas and lingonberries: three people were killed in a shootout at a McDonald’s drive-thru near Helsinki. And you thought that shit only happened in America. Personally, I blame the Internet.
This strapping Finn is named Jukka Mutanen, but prefers to go by the nickname “Excavatorjack”. See that construction vehicle behind him? That’s his excavator, and he is in the process of driving it the entire length of Finland.
Why, you ask? Well, sadly, it’s just a publicity stunt put together by the Chinese company that manufactures the equipment and the Finnish company that sell them in Finland, but you can’t fault them for not coming up with suitably zany concept. Here’s the obligatory webpage for the stunt. If you visit during daylight hours in Finland (which, right now, is pretty much all the time), be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to watch the live webcam showing him on his journey. There are lots of trees and the occasional passing automobile. You can follow along on Facebook as well, needless to say. The entire trip should take about a month, so you’ve got plenty of time to go have a look.
