Do swedes get to opt out of this?

It's opt in. In a radio segment the other day they said 6k people have volunteered. Which makes it very much non-random, but still, cute concept.

probably a good thing, you wouldn't want most of the calls to be answered by people very unhappy to be cold-called by some random foreigner...

Similarly, the @Sweden Twitter account is given to a different random Swede every week.

The abuse of the @Sweden Twitter account is obvious -- just look at the lebanese immigrant Elias Kreidy who wrote “I’m the immigrant f king your daughter while you’re trying to sleep ignoring her moans calling me ‘daddy'”. Now imagine this guy answering a phone line as an ambassador for the country! NSFW article about the tweet: http://www.infowars.com/im-the-immigrant-fking-your-daughter...

Got a link to an article by anyone who doesn't think the moon landings are fake or that the US government was behind 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing?

I've no idea if that article is factual or not but let's not uncritically link to infowars.net, eh?

Anyone try this yet? I've always wondered what Swedes think about IKEA in America...

Ok, I'm not sure why I was downvoted for a simple question, but thanks HN! Way to encourage open discussion.

I upvoted you on both your comments because of the unfairness of downvotes without explanation. I can find nothing wrong with your comment.
