Do I sense shenanigans? OMG. 3

Well, I guess it is kinda funny after the buildup.

"OMG. 3" is also perfectly reasonable in Danish, it's short for "Omgange" which in English would be rounds/laps of the racetrack.

Thankfully, we got this information prior to the SUMMER OLYMPICS. Now, I can cheer on my country's female track athletes by calling them SLUT when they finish. ;]

Holy crap Lego Racers was an awesome game. I'm tempted to pick up the Danish version and re-play it (Rocket Racer you're going down, again).

There's nothing offensive implied by the kiwi on the censored bar; it's merely a self-referential joke, referring to the same censor bar used in an earlier post:

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/19/todays-most-vulgar-videos-jam-sessions-instant-rockstar/

I thought it might be funny to re-use the same graphic out of context. Guess I was wrong. :/

Forgive my ignorance, but why is the bird so offensive?

Unless I'm missing some blatant sarcasm.

Slut means end or finnish in all nordic languages, namely swedish, danish, norwegian and finnish.

No it doesn't. Primarily because Finnish isn't a Nordic language.

Actually, while talking about Danish, the word we use for "speed" is translated as "fart" in Danish. So, I guess that one can "fart to the slut" then?

For some reason that game was more fun when you changed the language. Probably because of the wacky font.

While the spelling may resemble a derivative of "loose women", the pronunciation diverges between the two languages. If I am correct (the word is the same in Swedish, which I speak/read) the 'u' is pronounced like the 'oo' in boot.

Technicalities aside, I had a funny experience watching a Danish film where it flashed "Slut" at the end. It was very fitting because an adulturous women was just taken away by the police (old silent film named Afgrunden aka The Abyss). Also, in Stockholm the end of the line on a train is the "Slutstation" which also can make an anglo-speaker laugh.

And, let's not forget that "speedy" can be perfectly translated to "fartfull" in Swedish.

And while we're at it: Speed devil, or very fast exotic cars, is literally translated to "Fartmonster".

Start does not translate to prude. At least not in any of the Scandinavian languages.
