"   Remember that scene in Grease 2 where they sing &amp;quot;Let&amp;#039;s do it for our country&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;Our country wants us to&amp;quot;)? Well, that plea is happening for serious now in Denmark\u2014where the birth rate is currently at a 27-year low\u2014in a new commercial. The ad would be awkwardly funny even if they didn&amp;#039;t ham up the subject matter, but they did, in spades, so it&amp;#039;s hilarious.      Produced by travel company Spies Rejser, the ad proposes that Danes having tons of sex\u2014but going on vacation first to do so, natch\u2014is the only way to save the gorgeous Scandinavian species from extinction. Obviously.  Yes, yes it can!  But people need to go on vacation first to get things going\u2014science says so! According to the commercial, Danes have 46% more sex while on vacation (or &amp;quot;holiday,&amp;quot; as fancy Euros call it), and 10% of Danes were conceived while their parents were on vacation, like this girl...  Who makes this facial expression after deciding to tour the Parisian hotel she was conceived in. (Lady, you knew what you were getting into.) Anyway, the travel company wants to give their noble Danish countrymen (and women) an incentive to take these get-it-on sorts of vacations, so they created an &amp;quot;ovulation discount&amp;quot; for booking travel:  As well as a competition that will award a couple that conceives while on vacation and can &amp;quot;prove it&amp;quot; (excuse me, HUH?) a three year supply of baby stuff.  (Disclaimer: the kid will keep being expensive and time-consuming long after your competition spoils are gone.) And what about those who can&amp;#039;t compete? Don&amp;#039;t worry, they&amp;#039;re totes sensitive to that, and not offensive at all:  Because &amp;quot;it&amp;#039;s not just about winning&amp;quot; the competition; &amp;quot;the joy is in the participation.&amp;quot; Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Although, really, we think the joy is in watching the ad, too.
