Obol, Åmal and the F-word

Investment company Obol is in trouble in Sweden for not having the necessary licences to trade here. Not turning up for their meeting with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority probably didn’t help their case.
Maybe Swedish money news web site DinaPengar.se didn’t think the story was very interesting. Maybe that’s why they spiced up the picture in what, to a native English speaker, is quite a surprising way:
The reference, in case you were wondering what on earth justified such a headline, is to a popular Swedish film from 1998 called Fucking Åmal. Åmal sounds a bit like Obol when pronounced in a certain way. Other than that, quite what an investment company’s licencing problems have to do with teenage lesbian love problems is anybody’s guess.
