Once again we're ignored

We didn't get any of the Nobel prizes this year, as usual.

It's as expected since we have scandinavian roots. It's called being home blind - we will forever be ignored for our work where our origins are.

There are several prizes we should have got already. Of course the Peace Prize for bringing people together, that's the obvious one. The one for Economy is another given - we've managed to take away money from the equation of information distribution.

But the one that really bugs us here at the HQ is the chemistry prize. Noone has ever come close to getting our type of chemistry across the world, or managed to get people so pissed as we've done.

Giving the Peace Prize to the EU was a big joke. It shows that noone can take this prize seriously anymore. We have an idea that we want your input on: Should we revive our Polar Pirate Prize and create the worlds best award ceremony?

Put your answers and suggestions in the comments below!

(Oh and next year, if we don't win at least one of the nobel prizes... we'll just exclude Scandinavia from being able to access _______. Maybe then they'll understand how much we mean to keep the peace at home...)
