I find the ad to be quite a 'human' story really.

tasteless to use it to advertise something though.

I hadn't even heard of the story until the tabloids put up headlines, revealing the woman to be an actress. I think it's pretty clever by the tourist organization. Think of all the foreigners that will go to Denmark and buy women drinks :)

Well, it get's people talking about Denmark anyway. The Muhammed cartoons were starting to fade in peoples memories.

I find the advertisement to be far worse morally than showing boobies. At least you don't get false impression with the latter, nor the advertisement reported in the news as a real thing. What if someone really would go on Youtube or some other to find the father of her son? It'd be passed just as an another advertisement, thanks to these morally impaired advertisers. Who knows what comes next. The boy who cried wolf can be also applied to this issue.

wait a minute.  So this is a advertising for what?

If this women is really trying to find the father of that child, i do feel sorry for both her and the little one.

When I visited Denmark, I dated a girl and her father served us breakfast in bed.  Sexual mores there are vastly different from what we're used to.

The only thing that would make that video better is if Kayne stood up at the end and said "yo, biatch!, let's get it on! I know I can do better the 2nd time around!"
