SPAIN: Voting Is A Pleasure

Spain's Young Socialists of Catalonia party is raising eyebrows with this orgasmic GOTV ad.

A spokesman for the conservative Convergence and Union Party, Josep Antoni Duran Lleida, called the ad “crude” and suggested it might somehow discourage voters from turning out. Bibiana Aido, Spain’s equality minister, who is a Socialist, admitted that the ad was “misleading,” although, she added, “if it was true, electoral participation would go up greatly.” The leader of Catalan’s Green Party, Joan Herrera, agreed that the ad was not terribly realistic, suggesting that it would be “very difficult to reach orgasm voting for any of the candidates, myself included.”
