Jessica Alba confuses Sweden with Switzerland

mrs.v · January 21st, 2009, 08:26 AM

It's a blessing Jessica Alba made a career out of wearing bathing suits and spandex in terrible movies, because homegirl would've made a horrible and embarrassing journalist.

(Although her bank account probably isn't crying any tears she chose "acting")

At some Inaugural party in D.C., (where thankfully Alba knew it was Obama she was supporting) she tried to get all Snarky McSnark on a journalist who just wanted a low-maintenance sound bite from the actress. Check out the video on TMZ.com here.

Instead she cut him off immediately and said: "Can I ask you a question? This is for my blog." and whipped out her phone and started taping. (Jessica Alba has a blog? HA!)

"What do you think is Barack's greatest characteristic going into office?" she said.

When the shaken journalist said it was probably best he didn't answer -- seeing as he's on the clock and all -- Alba tried to make a funny and said:

"Be neutral! Be Sweden about it!"

The journalist was a gentleman and too polite to bother correcting her, but we're not. It's Switzerland, Jessica. Switzerland.

In her defense, both countries do start with the letter "S" and they're both in Europe. At least she didn't say Sudan. Or Singapore.

Be sweden, how nice.

She's so annoying

**twitchy2.0** · January 21st, 2009, 09:12 AM

Sweden. It's not just a country; it's a state of mind!

lalala · January 21st, 2009, 09:18 AM

She's right, you're wrong, Sweden is a neutral country, it stayed neutral during wwII

sputnik · January 21st, 2009, 09:25 AM

yes, but the usual expression is 'be switzerland about it'. you know she confused the two...

yanna · January 21st, 2009, 09:29 AM

Be Sweden about it!!! Love it! What a twit!

At least she's not as bad as this guy who turned in a translation where he wrote that the country with the highest percentage of AIDS in the population is Switzerland (ZW stood for Zwaziland but God forbid we actually use common sense and do some research...)

Jessica truly is a bitch. That poor journalist. Who does she think she is?

Tyka · January 21st, 2009, 11:28 AM

It's funny, but when she opens her mouth she is exactly as I would expect her to be.

Idiot.

Sweetie · January 21st, 2009, 11:33 AM

She is such a bitch. I wish someone would push her down.

msdeb · January 21st, 2009, 11:39 AM

that journalist did better than i would have. she's such a stupid shit.

witchcurlgirl · January 21st, 2009, 11:59 AM

she's wrong. Sweden was non-belligerent, not neutral, after they sent soldiers and arms to the Finns for the war against the Soviet Union

not that this dumbass knows what 'non-belligerent' means

Well in that case, she should have been Sweden about the reporter and not been such a belligerent bitch.
