It’s longevity that matters, not length, claims Danish travel agency’s latest fruity ad

Spies Rejser has completed its trilogy of ads encouraging Danes to go on holiday to boost the sagging birth rate

First there was ‘Do it for Denmark’. And then there was ‘Do it for Mom’.

Both were adverts for Spies Rejser encouraging Danes to have more babies to address the country’s flaccid birth rate.

And now the travel agency has come up with ‘Do it forever’ – a new campaign to complete the trilogy that increases holiday discounts according to how many children there are in the family.

Kids to blame!
Casually blaming the early death of many Danes on the kids who prevent them from having an active, healthy sex life, the ad laments how 46 percent of Danes have less sex after procreating and how many die eight years prematurely as a result.

All the classic ingredients of a Spies ad are there: a woman eating a banana to mimic fellatio, sun cream being squirted in an ejaculatory fashion, an opportune moment of male prowess, and humour – lots of humour!

Eurovision in the cockpit
Among those lending their services are the Olsen Brothers, who as pilots of a plane full of sexually-reinvigorated seniors are singing a special rendition of ‘Fly on the wings of love’.

After all, Danes have 51 percent more sex on a sunny holiday compared to their everyday lives, a previous Spies Rejser ad reminded us – regardless of whether somebody’s playing mood-killing Eurovision in the background.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
