Full disclosure, David Felton is our poorly geographically placed UK correspondent, and he's been bugging me with this idea for ages now. I kept telling him to work the word "træf" in, as some sort of pun, or at least write in Danish "Har du set denne fyr? Kunne du tænke dig det?", but David wisely stayed away from tedious puns and stuck with a language he knows. A few days before Valentines Day, David and his friends launched ValentinesDavid, and put posters up all over Copenhagen in popular shopping areas, cafés and even ladies restrooms. After a popular singer tweeted about it it started to spread, ladies tweeted when they spotted the poster in Copenhagen, and soon David was interviewed by both "Metro Express" and The Local: "Brit blankets Copenhagen with flyers to land a date". Since David is a Copywriter by day and he used old school advertising to get attention it was inevitable that he would end up in Adweek as well. Better still, with a cute "Danglish" turn of phrase - "I'm fresh" a direct translation of "Jeg er frisk på" - David has gotten interest from a cute redhead named Jeannet. He's new in town, she's new on twitter, they have so much in common already.
@valentinesdavid I read your story today. I'm too late to be your valentine. But I'm fresh on a date if you're still looking ;).
