Quoting EK156 (Thread starter):
Can anyone from Denmark confirm this campaign
I haven't heard of this before.. Gotta check it out to see if its true
It looks like it is real though. They have put the "Danish Road Safety Council's" logo on there and the footage is definately from Copenhagen.

So what do they do when it's not summer?
They plan to add normal speed bumps on my street, but I'd DEFINITELY prefer this kind!

Apparently this was done as a legitment 'public service' advertisement, in the style of a news story piece, to deal with a serious problem. Defenitely gets my attention as well as clever and maybe getting the point across. Perhaps we could do something like that here (USA), but not with topless models to get the attention needed to curb speeding here.

Quoting Thom@s (Reply 9): The problem is that drivers will slow down when passing a girl...
...and then speed off to find the next one.
I really don't hope that anyone is that desperate..

Quoting AirPacific747 (Reply 12): Actually no it isn't fake. Just read about it yesterday in a Danish newspaper.
Fake as in it's nothing the ministery of traffic came up with and as in "no, it's not gonna be permanent". To me, it looks like something these chicks came up with to get attention more than anything else. "I don't care what people think"? Uhh... okay...

How can you possibly be so sure?
I just talked to a classmate who told me that he saw one of them a few days ago. Of course its not permanent, its a campaign. Nothing in life is permanent

Amazing.
And in Sweden, a couple of years ago, they had to remove the ads from H&M because they were distracting male drivers, and hence to be considered a danger to traffic.

Sorry but it is not fake.
Because there has been nothing about this from the ministery of traffic, that's why
Sorry, but yeah, it's fake. In the sense that they made it seem official and permanent in the clip. I never said these attentionwh*res never existed (and I really don't care that your classmate saw one- does he want a medal for that?), I'm just saying this isn't a campaign created by the ministery. Read my point before trying to prove it wrong, please
Quoting DragoGoalie (Reply 16): In the sense that they made it seem official and permanent in the clip.
How did they make it seem permanent in the clip?
Quoting DragoGoalie (Reply 16): I never said these attentionwh*res never existed
Good because people would think that you are mad if you did.
Quoting DragoGoalie (Reply 16): (and I really don't care that your classmate saw one- does he want a medal for that?)
Why? Did he ask for a medal? You should care, because it proves that they didn't only stand there because of the video clip but also stand there while not being filmed.
Quoting DragoGoalie (Reply 16): I'm just saying this isn't a campaign created by the ministery. Read my point before trying to prove it wrong, please
Read your point? That is the first time you mention anything about whether this is made by the ministry or not Easy way to get out of trouble, don't you think?
I repeat:
Just because this campaign isn't made by the ministry doesn't make it fake
Also note that under 'About' it says:
"This movie was made by the Danish Road Safety Council and aims to draw attention to speed signs and speed limits in Denmark. Despite a decrease in speed violations, 7 out of 10 Danes still exceed the speed limit on a regular basis. Respecting the speed limits is the simplest way to save lives."
is their official website. Do you see the connection?
In other words: This campaign is NOT fake.
Sorry DragoGoalie, but you completely misunderstood it

Quoting DragoGoalie (Reply 19): They're basically saying they have nothing to do with this page right here. Now, stop saying sorry
LOL! wanna start a competition about who is better at comprehending danish?
It says that they are not responsible for what is being written on SOME of the WEBSITE. NOT on the streets. And what they are referring to is links directing to websites outside sikkertrafik.dk. Speedbandits has a dedicated website within sikkertrafik.dk, which means that Rådet For Større Færdselssikkerhed has approved Speed Bandits.

Quoting BristolFlyer (Reply 21): The guy who is interviewed is called 'Bent Koch Hansen'. This doesn't exactly add credibility to the story.
Well it is an authentic Danish name. There's even a girl in my class with the last name 'Koch'
There's also a guy in my class with the last name 'Bang'
Bent is a rather normal name as well.
So the guy's name has nothing do to with the credibility of this.
Try googling either Bent or Koch, and you will see that it is true.

Quoting Thom@s (Reply 23): Didn't notice that one until now...
Well as I said, it is a rather normal name in Denmark. I would think that at least the name Bent is a common name in Norway as well.
25 Thom@s: Absolutely, but the combination of the names, and the way it would be read in English didn't occur to me until now... A bit like Norway's leading busi
26 AirPacific747: Didn't occur to me before now either I've even once met a guy with the last name Kylling (Chicken)

31 DragoGoalie: It does- and I do want my own username (and to be listed as "female" ) but I don't have 25 bucks
32 PlymSpotter: Why not go First Class, after all its only $5 a month and you get one month free if you pay for a year! Oh god, I'm starting to sound like a real too
34 JCKastrup: well If this is true, i don't understand why we have not heard any complaints from some danish priests about "Amorality". Or even worse: Complaints fr
