Danish Mother Video

    A few days ago a video appeared on Youtube, apparently from a young Danish woman looking for the father of her young child.

    The video showed the woman "Karen" with a child on her lap telling the viewers that she was looking for the child's father. She told that they had met in town one night, had too much to drink, and had ended up at her place. The father, she told, was a tourist.

    In reality the video was created by VisitDenmark, an official Danish tourist organization financed by the Danish state.

    After massive critique in Denmark the video was removed from Youtube earlier today (Sept. 14). At the time of writing it can still be viewed here.

    I think these comments are pretty much spot on.

    In my opinion the video was in very bad taste. It might have been suitable for promoting safe sex, but not for promoting a country (except if the objective was to promote it for "sex tourism"). But at least people will now remember Denmark for other things than Mohammed Cartoons. :rolleyes:

    So tourists can have all the unprotected sex they want from the locals in Denmark? Sweet!

    All of you single guys, if you have read this and have not booked the earliest flight to Denmark that you can get, I am putting your manhood in question right here and now! Get off your butt, shutdown your PC and catch the damn plane!:D

    I'm sorry, but that's just sad. And bad taste. Very bad taste. I hope someone (actually, probably multiple people) were fired over that.

    Hey, if I'dve ever been to Denmark, it could've been me... :mommy:

    Sooo, am I getting the right impression that they want guys to take a holiday in Denmark and have sex with the locals?

    Are danish women in the need of a man in their...lives?

    Is the danish reproduction rate dependent on the tourism rates and is it because of the lack of "real men" around?

    Stay tuned, for something's really rotten in Denmark!

    Nuts. :nuts:

    So the message they were trying to get across is that slutty women are plentiful in Demark? If so, and since most tourism ads try to exaggerate the good points of a country, then are we to conclude that calling Denmark women sluts is actually a compliment? :nono: :nuts:

    [​IMG] "Now visiting Denmark is easy!"

    Looks like someone took a suggestion like that and had something else on their mind! Honestly. It's completely ridiculous they would do something like that.

    You know, this information would have been a lot more useful to me 10 years ago. What single guy on college break would NOT want to go to Denmark? I'd be so there.
