1001: Danish Red Cross TV ad

(For Loren, and her newfound Pusher-love): Tonny and Milo have a social consciousness...

A Danish-speaking YouTube commenter explains:

"They are all well-known danish actors, summoned to discuss a way they can use their popularity to make money for the Danish Red Cross."

"The first guy suggests they make plastic bags and sell them at supermarkets. Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre) starts talking about a gun, but gets interupted by the young girl, who wants to get naked 'since it is a good cause'."

"The next, who is Yoguslavian born, starts mumbling something which no one understands, but the woman claims to think it is a brilliant suggestion nonetheless."

"The last guy, who besides being famous himself is son to another famous danish actor, suggest that he make a christmas-record with his father -- something that the rest doesn't like all that much."

"They start arguing what idea is better, untill the young girl is told that no one wants to see her naked again."

"Then Mads Mikkelsen jumps up and after rolling around cries 'Save the Cat -- Save the Cat -- Save the Cat'."

"The rest explain to him that it is not about Save the Cat but the Red Cross, but Mikkelsen isn't all that impressed -- It is exactly the same he argues, and it is stupid not to take advantage of the fact that 'one of them' is capable of doing such a marvelous stunt."

"They keep arguing -- the only thing they agree on is that the plastic bags are stupid."

"At the end you are told that you the plastic bags are for sale at supermarkets."
