62. So the bottom line was: she was right. I honestly think the idea that TMZ staffers know anything about the foreign policy of other countries (and, therefore, are in a position to correct celebrities) is funnier than *anything* Alba might have said wrong (which she didn't, of course, because she was right.) Do you learn a lot about the real world by taking a thousand more pictures of Paris Hilton? The only think that might have been said in your favor is that you owned up to being taken to school by Jessica Alba, but you couldn't simply admit she was right. Instead you wanted to change the subject and insult Sweden for being neutral with your little Churchill quote. Stay classy TMZ!

63. Come on! It's quite a well-know fact that Sweden is a neutral country compare to other countries. We're not part of NATO and we very rare that we participate in war even if we at the moment are having troupes in Afghanistan. I think you are being silly, Sweden may not be as neutral as Switzerland but is definitely a neutral country (which is a well-known fact).

64. And what saddens me is when mediocre performers think they have the polical knowledge to preach.

65. I love how some of you call her stupid and other names like you know her. Sounds like your jealous. At least she knows that Sweden is a neutral country. Some of you really should get your world news from places other than TMZ. The UN is not the country of Sweden.

66. No comment on Sweden being neutral or Jessica Alba being the dumbest person on earth!

67. TMZ has no room to speak about who is smart and who is not, I am afraid to say. This site is full of awful writing, witless puns, general idiocy, and political and social irrelevance. Levin and his band of mindless trolls should keep doing what they do best: keep an eye on brittany and paris and stay out of 'current' political relevance. What a complete and utter joke this entire story is, and it only makes Alba look like a decent and thoughtful human being, as opposed to the illiterate fools who consider the fake journalism of TMZ worth reading. It is amazing to me that this Levin fellow used to teach Law. People will sell their integrity for anything.

68. To most people in Europe, and Scandinavia in particular, Alba said what we all know...and nobody would think that she meant to refer to Switzerland. It is true that we would not expect the average American to know this fact...but my guess is that Alba is brighter than people think, and simply knows more than the TMZ journalists.

It is just sad on your behalf to see that TMZ does not offer a proper apology.

69. Firstly I am Swedish living in Ireland and people constantly admire my home country's watches and cheese. Yeh love that's Switzerland not Sweden. I think it's very ignorant to make such a mistake but at the same time I have come to accept that once you are not from Scandinavia it is obviously impossible to tell these two countries apart. Sweden is very much neutral still today, If any one thinks different then I would suggest you pick up a book and check what the word truly means. As someone pointed out we have armed forces to protect our country and will not rely on any other nation to help us. Besides American's can’t talk have you seen Jay Leno's "Jaywalking", Sorry but when it comes to smarts, you guys are the laughing stock of Europe, nay the world, and here you are flaunting your ignorance once more.

70. When will these celebrities realize that the general public is NOT INTERESTED in their opinions. They think they are so wise - probably because they have a team around them 24/7 telling them how great they are. PLEASE keep your condescending opinions to yourself - we DO NOT CARE!! Alba is a terrible actress and has never given the impression of possessing any intelligence. What a pea brain! When I see one of her movies, I'm quickly searching for the remote to change the channel.

71. Nice try, TMZ, but I "ain't buyin'". I don't believe for one second you knew ANYTHING about the history of or current political stances of Sweden before you researched this post.

You can call Jessica Alba a bimbo all you want. But call a spade a spade: You're not any smarter, TMZ.

72. SWEDEN IS STILL NEUTRAL YOU IDIOTS!!!! It is in our constitution. Sweden's military is however involved in major PEACEKEEPING actions around the world.

73. TMZ never fails to amuse me. They are utterly incapable of calling out someone's stupidity without showing their own.

Hey, kids... This is what happens when you don't finish school. You end up working at TMZ. Graduate. Please.

74. When people say "Be Switzerland", they are not implying to the state of the country during the war. Switzerland has always been a neutral country when it comes to politics, the economy, etc. The neutrality is not judged by whether Switzerland chooses sides during wars. It is judged by how the country's government is set up. Everything in the country is half and half, there is no specific majority party in the government. It just so happens that the country also HAS NEVER taken sides during wars.

75. Oh Jessica, stick to what you know: C-movies, shotgun weddings, and insulting your heritage. Stupid girl.
