[Visualante2]

Well its in my school so i am doin it !!!

Shave your elbow pit. The plaster is a real pain. (assuming you're hairy)

 

[Camwi]

That's a helluva good deal! They need to do this in the US.

Not that hairy, but thanks for the advice !

LOL - you guys on the same plane? Same post, same time.

Why does Denmark not have a strong community of blood donors?

Cool promotion though.

They do have a strong community, but it is schewed towards women. They want a more gender equalized donation. So this is one way to actually make guys go and do this.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

That's... actually really cool.

Spoiler

How do they handle returns

 

[Neiteio]

hmm, maybe if they have spongebob band-aids

Completely OT but this is an issue in most countries around the world. Number of donors falling down combined with more and more use of blood to rescue lives.

 

[Jobbs]

I only donate semen.

you'll have to wait for miyazaki's next game, then.

 

[wildfire]

 

[Conezays]

Haha, that's awesome. They should do it elsewhere in the world as well.

 

[Karanlos]

Maybe look at it from a diferent angle - You will make a nice trip, help someone who might die without your blood and get fantastic game in return - how does it sound ?

The trip takes 8 hours to and back, and if you aren't registered you can't donate right away. After signing up you have to wait 60 days before you can get donate.

I've signed up, just sucks that it's not somewhere closer.

As long as it's "Semen-borne with an air of plausibility" and not "Air-borne semen".

Isn't that essentially what pollen are?

 

[Who]

I only donate semen.

You will love what Nintendo Denmark has in store for Splatoon's release.

 

[Handy Fake]

The day some bulked-up dick-on-legs on Brazzers shouts "I'm going to pollinate your face" is the day I agree.

 

[Bazza]

That's actually really awesome, blood is one of the things I would like to give but I don't think I would be eligible for being a regular smoker and dabbler in other mind altering things (never the big bad 3 Heroin, Crack and Meth though).

What are the other things you'd like to give? If it's money, I'll send you my account details in a pm.

That borne of the blood commercial marketing campaign would be quite hilarious if it was for the man gravy instead.

Air Mandrake lets us save on the flight. There may not be free peanuts but it gets the job done.

 

[Kinyou]

Any retailers that match prices?

 

[Rambotito]

I read it as "you can play Bloodborne with your own blood in Denmark".

That would have been rather unique.

 

[Kosma]

Guess im gonna get a free copy of Bloodborne

 

[Kosma]

Oh wait

In Denmark all blood donors must be able to read and speak Danish. These regulations are meant to secure that blood donors understand all questions and are able to answer them correctly and to prevent misunderstandings between the blood collecting staff and the donor.

[Nori Chan]

You guys gonna China?

 

[neojubei]

Do they exclude gay men from donating blood?

 

[Toxi]

Glad to see them giving people an incentive to donate blood.

Don't they still exclude gay men from donating blood?

Yes.

If anyone is wondering why, a lot of it is fear over AIDS. During the 1980s, 90% of people with severe hemophillia became infected by HIV due to tainted blood transfusions, killing thousands. Since homosexual men are one of the most at-risk groups for HIV in the US, they were barred from donating. There is more push now to allow gay men to donate blood, but there's still a lot of caution because the medical community doesn't want to be responsible for another AIDS disaster.

 

[Converse]

I applaud this. A classy PR move that helps people while it helps the game. I hope Danish GAF takes advantage of this.

A Blood Sacrifice for thy blessing

I donate money to a few charity's already but blood is, you could say a renewable resource that people can give on a regular basis that costs nothing is so valuable but is always in short supply.

This thread actually prompted me to take a look at the main UK blood donation sight and it doesn't specifically mention smoking etc. worth further enquires.

 

[Artex]

"Semen-borne" has an air of plausibility about it though.

Pretty sure I've seen that movie.

 

[Dinjooh]

I can easily teach you basic danish before monday. I will however require payment in form of a game. Named bloodborne.

 

[TheStruggler]

 

[Lime]

It's right where I work, so I might drop by after lunch, although I already donated blood last Tuesday. It'll save me 500 kr, so here's hoping!

The line is probably super crazy though.

Haha thanks.

I do speak a lil bit, my wife is danish. Reading is no problem.

Maybe I can send her...
