Tourism Denmark recently made an effort to attract visitors with a cooked-up story of a woman searching the father of her new born baby.
The ‘commercial’ has been created by Grey Denmark. It features the woman named Karen speaks to the camera holding her baby. She recalls how she met that ‘adventurous’ man before one and a half years ago and how he poured this adventurous spirit on her at a place called custom house bar. She only knows that he is a he. She does not know his name or where he’s from, for she is also probably an adventurous woman. However, she talks about Denmark.
This video generated protests some quarters as it allegedly offensive to modern women and the agency and Visit Denmark have removed it from You tube.
