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.

Critics says the video implied that along with traditional tourism, Denmark was a place to go to have unprotected sex with strangers.

"Denmark- we've been having unprotected sex with intoxicated blondes since before your country even existed. Come see what you've been missing."

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.

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!"

lol. I don't know, nowadays in America that line is becoming more and more blurred. I've had my girlfriend's father walk in on us, only to ask what I wanted for dinner. Mind you, I'm not complaining that I didn't get my arse kicked down the street, but I do kinda feel like he should have been at least a little upset. I know I would be.

Reality is realizing that you're not going to change biology, and at some point you stop making choices for your child.  You just have to try raise a young woman or young man that makes responsible choices.   

 That other America, the "Moral" one, ends up so repressed that they become congressmen, and end up telling everyone else what they can and can't do, while they themselves make stopovers in airport restrooms with other men.

You would be removed at gun point and told to not to darken my door step again!  But I don't need to worry about that I raised my daughters right!

DuHasst

I don't know why one should be upset, if the guy is alright. It's not like there'd be much of a choice anyway, it would happen somewhere elsewhere just the same, but you wouldn't know at all about it. After all one's home is the safest place. I've learned that trust can create trust and I'm not putting religious or other conservative ideals ahead of me, but rather be practical.

And though I would simply see the girl outside of your house, I wouldn't blame you one bit for that decision.

I do agree with this. I was raised that way myself, my father taking the same opinion. And while I do know my girlfriend's family very well, (We've been involved for almost 3 years) I still cannot help but think I could be so mature as to see it that way in the heat of the moment.
