Polly Jean and Janne - media stars!

Today, I´m extremely proud to see my loved ones; Polly Jean and Janne, being interviewed in Expressen, one of the biggest evening newspapers in Sweden! :-)
We´re told the interview will be broadcasted on some local tv channels as well, but frankly it´s just very small channels so you´d be very lucky to catch them there.

For those of you who don´t understand Swedish, the theme for the whole thing is that Polly Jean has her own page on Facebook. (And yes, of course it was me who set it up and now poor Janne has to cover for it while I´m abroad....) The interview is a part of the coverage on that Facebook has become such a huge phenomenon, and that now even pets has their own pages on Facebook. The interview explains that we first set up the page to introduce Polly Jean to friends far away who are curious about Polly Jean but never have had the chance to meet her. But quite quickly, Polly Jean started to get friend requests from dogs - and a pig! - from all over the world; Bolivia, England, USA, South Africa etc, so her page kind of started to get a life of it´s own... Well, I guess you´ve to take a look for yourself to see...

And last but not the least; thank you Martina for coming up with this totally wicked idea and for talking us into putting Polly Jean on broadcast. I guess that´s one of the reasons that you really deserve my nomination of you as "my most creative friend" on Facebook.
