Why is that relevant to the story? They have stupid people everywhere, even in Sweden.
First, I don't really believe the story. Second, if it is true, then who's the bigger fool? The Americans or their attorney? Wait!!! Their attorney was probably American
too!! That would certainly explain everything....stupidity all around.
The fact is, a suit like that would/could never be filed....not in an American court anyway.
Now, let's talk about the woman in Stockholm who washed her poodle and dried it in the microwave oven. That story's not true, either, but just as entertaining IMHO.
LOL, you have no sense of humor dear, why doesn't american likes that we pick on them, as they pick on us? 
But yeah, the story is probably an urban myth, even if it was a story in one of the larger newspapers in Norway (and that's where I read it a few years ago). The cruise they took was with something called Hurtigrutten, which goes along the whole coast of Norway, from the south to the north (which is way past the Arctic circle).
The poodle story is a classic, but here it's been told as being an american cooking her poor dog in the micro to dry it. I mean why should we do it, we don't even have microwave ovens, I thought you americans thought we lived in the middle ages. Espeically when I get asked (this *is* true) if we live in houses or huts since we live so far up north (I'm 170 km south of the arctic circle). 
I mean, we're all on the same small rocky planet orbiting a single small yellow sun...
