The number one rule of trying to get someone over as a heel is to put him in a situation where he's the only one who thinks he's right. By that standard, Vince failed miserably here. I was just as disgusted as Halme was by what we saw, and you could make the argument that Ludvig Borga actually cares more about America in his way than Luger does. It's ​Luger's ​Lex Express bus that puts exhaust and pollution into the air, it's Luger's ​garbage and waste products that help to pollute the rivers, and it's Luger's ​"love it or leave it" attitude that causes a fine, upstanding supporter of clean air and water like Ludvig Borga to be booed by the fans and called an enemy of America. Doesn't anyone think that there's something wrong about that?

 

No, Vince never thought that deeply about the situation, but he or someone who worked for him damn well should have. At the very least, make Borga an East German who's been cast out by the end of the Cold War or something like that. "Ludvig Borga" sounds more like a German name than a Finnish one anyway. As I've said before, except for two weeks every four years during the Winter Olympics, who the hell cares about lousy stinkin' ​Finland​? (No offense to any readers from Finland out there.)

 

I thought the line about Luger being a "garbage driver" was funny, because it made Halme sound like a legitimate immigrant who hasn't mastered all the American colloquial expressions yet. That said, what could he possibly have been trying to say? Does it even matter?
