While I agree the title should say ´US citizen´, because as-is it´s insulting to Finnish citizenship, your view of USA looks at least way exagerated.

I also found the headline very poor. Equating "Citizen" with "US Citizen" is a very poor word choice for a website with an international audience.

Does it matter where he's a citizen? In the subject email, he's engaging in citizen activity in his "new" country (registering to vote); it literally describes Linus acting as a citizen.
That said, it seems he's buying stocks in a heavily indebted company.

It matters because the news behind "Citizen Linus" doesn't seem to be about Linus getting a voting registration but about the fact that he "let slip" he is now a US citizen.

Umm... Citizen Kane?

I suspect the title was supposed to echo the title of the movie _Citizen_Kane_ and thus be amusing.
Citizen Linus Posted Sep 17, 2010 17:24 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] More like it was supposed to echo whatever the title of Citizen Kane echoes. "Citizen" as a person's title comes from somewhere, and I don't think the author of Citizen Kane made it up.
