The video posted after the jump features Danish police officers standing on a busy street corner, stopping helmet-less bicyclists, hugging them, and then giving them free helmets. Aww! The video itself is silent (with music), but as the confused cyclists furrow their brows and ask why they have been stopped, you get the sense that the police officers are telling them that they care about their safety, that they don’t want to see them get hurt, that they would hate to see them become just another statistic in another medical study about the frequency of post-hospitalization incidence of intracranial tumors following a sports related closed head injury. It is one of those moments that makes you hopeful for the simple possibility of a better world, a place where people help each other out and the government takes proactive steps for the betterment of its citizens.
Except for one thing.
All dudes.
I think the cyclist at 0:46 might be a lady, but she has very short hair and an adrogynous face, so let’s just put her in the dudes column. NOT ONLY THAT, but at the beginning of the video a TON OF LADIES ride by WITHOUT HELMETS, and the cops are like AT EASE, SOLDIER.
Denmark, very concerned about the well being of its male bicyclists. Ladies take to the streets at their own risk.

Boom goes the Brad-omite!
Maybe they just thought that women might misinterpret a male cop stopping them to hug.
Except they’re not Dutch… I believe they’re from Denmark
People from Denmark are Danish, not Dutch (Dutch people are from the Netherlands). Just sayin’.
Oh Gabe. The Danes hate touching ladies. Did you not watch Hamlet.
alright now that we have established that they are Danish and not Dutch, anyone who “corrects” it from here are out should get the ban-hammer to the face.
i think the politi just like hugging dudes, although women deserve free helmets too!
not dutch. the dutch love the ladies, that’s why the sell them in lovely red lit store fronts.
…But are the ladies in the store fronts wearing helmets?
they can’t just let male cops hug-attack the ladies. that’s sensual harassment.
The commercials nice but the music… SO GOOD!!! Denmark be lovin their breakbeats.

can think of two reasons/excuses:
ladies didn’t want their hair messed up when cops put helmets on their heads, so they only showed grateful people with short hair
or
only brought male sized helmets???
Those are definitely some dudes-only helmets.
they just didn’t have any pink helmets
Gay hotcops.
There were two of ‘em that looked like girls to me.
“the frequency of post-hospitalization incidence of intracranial tumors following a sports related closed head injury” = one of the most irresistible links ever
I really want a hug now.
Control group. More happy, well adjusted, cranially intact men hanging about than women in a few years = project success. Next step – seek to prove Darwin wrong with all male society
Mommy State FTW. With a HUG no less. When do the state nurses show up in their bathrooms to wipe their asses? God forbid someone be responsible for their own personal well-being. Dat wouldn’t be fun fo da wittle citizens, would it : (
Resist cutesy creeping socialism.
Thank you.

Did you ever hear about the thing with the open barn door/horse already done bounced? Allow me to pendantisize: considering their health care is already socialized, doesn’t it make sense to keep its costs in check?
The women are probably too busy holding up road signs to go riding around on bicycles:
