It called on Spring Breakers to&nbsp;"Go&nbsp;Wilder" in one of the wildest places on Earth.&nbsp;Why? Because a lot of people in&nbsp;Iceland are&nbsp;related and could use an influx of sexy spring breakers to mix things up. It included a billboard in Grand Forks, North Dakota (which is colder than Iceland), a :60 spot, website, social campaign with an&nbsp;Icelandic comedian, a Bumble profile,&nbsp;plenty of press and a Change.org petition demanding a direct flight from ND to Iceland.
