Ever wondered what happens to the kids who don’t understand what’s acceptable among mates might not be in other contexts?
At least one of them grew up and went into advertising in Denmark where s/he came up with the idea for an advertisement to attract tourists.
Picture if you will, the scene as s/he pitches the idea:
“Um, well we could like, y’ know ah do a video with a blonde chick and a baby. And like y’know she could tell how she met this bloke in a pub and he’d be a like tourist and she’d be a like y’know local and y’know they like had sex and he like did a runner and then she like, well, found out she was pregnant and like y’know had a baby and she can’t remember the father’s name or where he came from and now she’s like trying to find him”
That doesn’ say come to Denmark for the scenery or the culture to me, but the client, VisitDenmark, bought the idea, filmed it and posted it on YouTube.
The Danes who saw it were furious that people were being tempted to tour their country by the story of a one-night stand and the clip was withdrawn from YouTube. But it was too late because, as these things do, it had been copied several times.
