#Karen26 gets second wind as it reaches BoingBoing
Boingboing just posted about the Karen26 video stunt, so we can probably count on another mob calling for someone to get fired.
Recap: Ad campaign (this was a teaser) created by Grey. Seeded Goviral and paid for by Visit Denmark. In the end Dorte Kiilerich, CEO of VisitDenmark resigned, as the ad cause such a backlash in Denmark. Backlash was spearheaded by Extrabladet where the journalists had initially fallen for the stunt hook line and sinker.
