Hygge in Hollywood Denmark's Lighthearted Petition to Buy California

In a bold and humorous move, Danes have launched a petition to buy California, seeking to bring hygge to Hollywood. This playful initiative responds to United States President Donald Trump's comments about taking control of Greenland, a vast Arctic island from Denmark.

The petition, which has already garnered over 200,000 signatures, asks Have you ever looked at a map and thought, 'You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates?' Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality.

With a tongue-in-cheek tone, the petition's website claims they need only $1 trillion (give or take a few billion) – equivalent to 200,000 kroner from every Dane. The goal is to secure 500,000 signatures.

This lighthearted proposal comes as Trump continues to pursue his interest in buying Greenland, despite Denmark's reluctance. The Danish capital of Copenhagen has already been the site of a tense meeting between Trump and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who rejected his idea as absurd.

In response, Denmarkification – the group behind the petition – decided to channel Trump's previous career as a real estate developer. They have big plans for Disneyland in Southern California, including renaming it Hans Christian Andersenland and introducing Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet.

A disclaimer at the bottom of the petition website reads This campaign is 100% real... in our dreams.

A Real-Life Danish Capital in America

While Løs Ångeles (Los Angeles) might be a joke, another very Danish city in Southern California is real. Solvang, founded by three immigrants from Denmark in 1911, has become known as the Danish capital of America. This charming town attracts tourists with its aebleskiver pastries, Scandinavian windmills, and Copenhagen Drive.

Danish royals have visited Solvang multiple times over the decades, solidifying its connection to the motherland. With this in mind, it's no wonder Denmarkification is looking to expand their hygge kingdom to California.

Greenland The Real Estate Debate

Trump's interest in buying Greenland has sparked a heated debate about the island's sovereignty and strategic importance. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Prime Minister Múte B. Egede have both rejected Trump's proposal, stressing that Greenland is for the Greenlandic people – not Denmark or America.

Egede emphasized this point during a news conference with Frederiksen in Copenhagen We do not want to be Danish; we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic.

As the debate rages on, it's clear that both sides have strong feelings about the future of this vast and mineral-rich Arctic island.

Conclusion

In a world where real estate deals can be as complicated as they are contentious, Denmarkification's lighthearted petition to buy California serves as a refreshing reminder that humor can be a powerful tool in shaping public opinion. Who knows? Maybe one day we'll see Hans Christian Andersenland – with Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet, no less!
