Here is one of the buses that’ll drive around Denmark the next few weeks. On the side of the door is an American cowboy hat next to a Danish “clap” hat. Foto: West Funen Brewery.
The Danish seem to be going harder on the anti-US consumerism (or whatever is the right word) than any other EU country. Good for them!

Dane here, and everyone we know is all in.
Fuck Trump! And fuck USA for electing him.
Long live democracy and democratic values.
Long live EU.
Yup. Lots of graffiti everywhere. Lots of "fuck Elon" stickers on Teslas.
I'm American but I live in Denmark. I very often get to see a sigh of relief when I apologize for America or say "fuck that guy" when people find out where I'm from
From a Canadian also taking the same stance, thank you for doing your part!
America is rank and rancid, smells of corruption, oligarchs and fascism.
Boycott America.
Norwegian pondering the Danish theft of Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland.....
But I do agree with the statement.
Of course. Trump literally said to the Danes “giB mE Greenland or eLsE”.
That is an excellent point!
I wanted to verify this picture just to make sure, and found out that this is a mockup according to this source. Under the picture it says:
Her er en af de busser, der kommer til at køre rundt i Danmark de næste uger. På bussens dør ses en amerikansk cowboyhat ved siden af en dansk klaphat. Foto: Vestfyen Bryggeriet

Another note: It's only 3 busses starting today, but apparently advertisements for another 27 busses has been ordered.
The interesting thing is that this company usually does not have massive advertisements but because of the US boycott, they have had a huge increase in sales within a very short period of time!
even in the absence of the orange dictator, people should generally have locally produced and targeted goods. i hope this is the new status quo
busses
I bet they're buses.
Fixed
I'm all for boycotting USian goods, but do you really have to represent us with that stupid hat?
Don't drink this shit even if it's made in your village
I strongly dislike it when even the windows of a bus are covered by advertisements. While there may be small holes to see outside, it remains uncomfortable to sit inside. We do not need to adopt this „billboard culture“
Thank you, it also means the busses do not have a uniform color making them harder to spot. Even if it's a "nice" ad it's still an ad.
You can't spot a bus?
In my city, a foreign advertising form was allowed to put ads on buses (as well as billboards and street furniture) in exchange for operating an inexpensive share bike scheme. In 2021, they pulled the share bikes off the street because the far more expensive private un-docked escooter share schemes made more money for the Council. But they didn't stop the advertising.
So now we get ads on our buses and blocking our footpaths, in exchange for nothing in return.
I rode in one once, I found it surprisingly visible to see outside. But I agree with not excessive billboard culture.
Capitalism disagrees with you wholeheartedly.
