#Karen26 - Karen in Denmark seeking August's father - (2009) (Denmark)

"Danish mother seeking" - this is Karen a.k.a Karen26 - the fictional carachter dreamed up by Grey, Denmark for their client the "Visit Denmark" tourist board. There is no father for August. See Danish Mother seeking is actually Ditte Arnth for details. VisitDenmark has now decided to remove the video off youtube.
The VisitDenmark tourist org called this idea "story telling on youtube in H.C Andersens spririt". If so, where is the moral of the story? H.C. Andersen always had one. They also defended their idea in Politiken where Dorte Kiilerich of VisitDenmark is quotes as saying:

Karens story shows that Denmark is a free place with space for you to be who you want. The film is good exposure for Danish self sufficient and dignified women.

The youtube comments weren't pretty:

"its amazing to see all the foreigners who have lived in denmark for a long time (decade or more) come out and slam Denmark. I lived there for a decade too, and was disgusted by the petty racism and xenophobia. Not to mention shallow women who will fuck you but not even hold a civil conversation."

Thus Dorte at VisitDenmark has decided to remove the video off youtube (good luck with putting the toothpaste back in the tube, dear). She adds

I am very sorry that the film has offended many people, that wasn't our intention at all. The goal has been to create positive recall of Denmark and create conversations about Denmark. To prevent offending people any further we have removed the film from youtube.

. Don't continue to pay for bad advice. Bark Copenhagen does good work, maybe give them a ring instead. Ad Agency: Grey
