Yeah, no, that was not really a well thought out commercial. Fuck our rotten fish, fuck our dancing around a big cock pushed into the ground during midsummer, fuck every Scandinavian tradition we have. With that kind of brain dead logic there simply is no culture, no heritage, no history. And fuck SAS for fanning the winds in the sails of the nationalistic right wing.

Perfect example of oikophobia.

Interestingly enough the commercial was made by a Danish company who by geography is a continental country (the "bridge" between Europe and Scandinavia). I guess they simply fucked with Sweden and Norway.

Well, they mentioned the "danish" (pastry) and "rugbrød" that is extremely danish. No idea why people can eat such a dark piece of bread and like it. Tried it a couple of times, but dont like the consistency or the taste. Tnen again smalahove might not be everyones cup of tea either Very Happy

With Exhibit A we want to show you what happens when virtue signalling and total obliviousness to the current political climate culminate in a pathetic attempt to pander to some perceived "woke" customers. I despise nationalism, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

+1 This is just stupid.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Who in the fuck thought that was okay? Do they want to push people away?

Culture is transnational and doesn't stop at imaginary borders ? We travel around the world and make "foreign" pieces of culture ours ? Who would have thought ! Laughing
I legitimately didn't get this, what was the point of that commercial other than pointing out obvious things ? Very Happy

Well, the message that "we have no culture or traditions" is stupid. We've adopted various things over the centuries and made it our own. And here comes some woke nitwit-commercial saying that the culture, traditions and heritage that one might identify with is false. It's just stupid. Other than that I have no idea what the point of that video was except maybe to create a buzz (and buzz it got, not sure it's positive for their bottom line).

Yeah.. it's just baffling why anyone thought this would be a good idea.. the worst thing is that it could have very easily been made to be more optimistic and wholesome - "..and we're at the crossroads of all these woooonderful cultures in Sweden, come fly with us !" or some similar shit you would see in your average Apple/Google ad Laughing On the other hand, this.. just felt weird as hell. You just got to wonder how stuff like this even gets the greenlight Very Happy
