Something is rotten in the State of Denmark

During a high-stress week of final exams, I stumbled across this video last night and couldn’t help but laugh. Only in Copenhagen.
The Danish Road Safety Council has found an innovative new way to draw attention to speed signs and speed limits in Denmark. According to the campaign, “Despite a decrease in speed violations, 7 out of 10 Danes still exceed the speed limit on a regular basis. Respecting the speed limits is the simplest way to save lives.”
If nudity doesn’t offend you, view a clip of the campaign here.
I lived in Denmark for over four years and consider it my adopted second country. I’ve never visited a more charming, hyggelig (or cosy) destination in all my travels, and I was continually impressed by the natural and environmentally-conscious way of life there. Denmark is filled with extremely kind-hearted folk who are so positive and full of life. They are always pushing boundaries - all in good fun.
Oh, those silly Danes!
It took me a moment to figure out what the cab driver was saying. “Denmark has totally redeemed itself!”
hehe, det er for fedt…
With all these Scandinavian bossoms keeping abreast of current issues, is it any wonder a study from last year showed Danes as being the happiest people on earth? Or that today it was found to have the most dynamic economy in the EU, according to the World Economic Forum?
So when do we get some blonde nordic studs?
