German political party tries to recruit voters by running 90-second pornographic clip on TV

Party political broadcasts are normally used to detail the positions of a particular group but that wasn"t the case in Germany when one organisation decided to use its constitutionally-mandated place in the TV schedules to show a poographic film.

Rather than tell viewers what it stood for, Die Partei decided it would be a better to show an XXX scene for reasons that are yet to be explained.

Whether they thought the obscured footage of two people having sex would endear them to a certain type of voter, we"re not quite sure.

But what we do know is German officials may now choose to rethink their rule of automatically giving parties a 90-second window on national TV.

Some people thought the promo was the way forward and wanted to see a similar approach in the UK.

@geniaphobic tweeted: ‘This is what we need to liven up 2015 (general election). Can"t see @Ed_Miliband going for it though."

But others were simply confused by it, with YouTube user Pudinkk adding: ‘Can somebody please explain what"s the idea behind this TV spot?"

The whole thing may have just been a joke though as the party that produced the advert was created by people who worked for a satirical publication.

The clip was brought to our attention by Political Scrapbook and can be viewed here (link NSFW).
