[video=youtube;MfQPg13RIYs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfQPg13RIYs[/video] [QUOTE]The best political advert of the 2016 US election has been discovered - in Denmark. It features a [B]huge picture of the top of Donald Trump’s head plastered on a bus[/B], with the rear wheels of the vehicle painted into “googly eyes”. Above the picture it simply reads “[B]Americans abroad, VOTE[/B].” The innovative ad has been put together by [B]Danish political party SF - the Socialist People’s Party[/B].[/QUOTE] [URL=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/best-anti-donald-trump-advert-9135264]SOURCE[/URL]
lol
accurate representation.
Random trivia to boost: It's likely that it will be taken down by police soon. Not because of its' contents, but because it appears to be covering the windows completely in vinyl film without the mandatory break-lines so in case of an accident, you can't smash the window for an emergency exit.
It's weird to me that there are american political ads in other countries. I understand why but it still strikes me as odd.
the eyes on the trump go round round round

[QUOTE=Mining Bill;51268571]It's weird to me that there are american political ads in other countries. I understand why but it still strikes me as odd.[/QUOTE] It's quite obviously an attempt at boosting the Danish SF party who are paying for the ad. They've fallen quite seriously into obscurity, and a good ol' viral video with their name in the corner is most certainly an attempt at regaining the 'hip young voters' with some brand-recognition to remind you they're still there.

according to wikipedia there's only about 8000 americans in denmark. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigration_from_the_United_States#Overseas_US_populations[/url]

I had to spent all day listening about the American election too. This is becoming borderline propaganda, seriously go away.
Eh it makes sense, the American election is going to have an impact on most countries. Even Denmark. Though SF is really just trying to become relevant again with some dumb tongue-in-cheek humor.

Trump is rolling his eyes at all the dirty nordic welfare communists he passes.

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigration_from_the_United_States#Overseas_US_populations[/url][/QUOTE] Americans living abroad have waaaay more invested in this election than normal Americans. US foreign policy matters a ton to people from the US living in foreign countries, while domestic policy means jack shit. There's a good amount of expats in Denmark and Europe in general. A bus wrap won't reach many of them (if any), but the publicity this brings might convince a few to pay some attention. But afaik it's almost definitely too late to apply for ballots for expats. Still a good message though.

That's why a third of you guys are [I]always[/I] on holiday, because otherwise there wouldn't be room for you all.
[QUOTE=Mining Bill;51268571]It's weird to me that there are american political ads in other countries.

It's pretty retarded that Sweden's biggest news site has been on a fearmongering campaign against Trump saying " HE WILL USE NUKES!!!!!!"
