eken, that chain email was quite popular. I'd seen that aleast 5 years ago. There was another popular one, whith polar bear, and seals. The incident actually involved saving those animals from oil spills. I'm quite convinced this is it was a photoshopped but wouldn't be suprised if they are actual images.
 
If you want publicity, hits, some revenue (may be) there is no harm but your tilte of the article says "Denmark is a big shame...." You are posting something with limited research then be prepared from from some criticism.

P.S i enjoyed your blog, articles and layout.
