Shitty Link Baiting

Of all the link baiting there is, this is the kind I hate the most.

Politiken, one of Denmark's leading papers, posted the below on Facebook. It basically says that the new HBO series with Maggie Gyllenhaal is really good. It doesn't, of course, mention what the series is called, so to find out I have to click the link. Now while this does give the social media ninjas at Politiken one more hit to compute into their Facebook analytics and website Excel sheet, all it does is piss me off.

Why not just name the series in the original post? I'd have what I wanted, I'd know it was Politiken who gave me the information, and I wouldn't be pissed off. Are those hits really worth it? I doubt it. If you ask me, it's far better to keep people happy. 

The European Elections

How to get people to vote. Especially those pesky kids. 

Denmark, being the liberal country it is, opted for blowjobs. But then changed their mind and pulled it. 

The European Parliment themselves got Ogilvy Brussels to make voting look far more exciting than it really is.

Sweden, being as liberal - if not more so - than Denmark, decided to go a far more somber and impressive route. 

European Elections - Only in Denmark

Only in Denmark. I'm not sure what else to say. I actually like it - bar the rather bizarrely graphic beginning (and I'm not talking about the beheading). It's a bit like the video for the local elections last year, but just a bit more....insane. 

UPDATE (13/05/2014): They officially removed it, but you know...internet.
