Spain 'orgasm' video criticised by politicians

An excerpt from the video shows the woman getting 'excited' about voting

Spanish politicians have criticised a video by the Young Socialists in Catalonia in which a woman simulates an orgasm while casting her vote.

Both Socialist and opposition politicians have attacked the campaign video.

The equality minister called it "misleading" advertising.

In the video the young woman gets increasingly excited as she votes for the Socialist Party in this month's regional elections in Catalonia.

It concludes with the phrase, "Voting is a pleasure", after she puts her voting slip in the ballot box.

The leader of the conservative opposition Popular Party of Catalonia, Alicia Sanchez-Camacho, said the video was an "attack on the dignity of women".

The health minister, Leire Pajin, who is a Socialist, called on all parties to show respect for women and to act responsibly.

The Socialist equality minister, Bibiana Aido, said of the video: "If it was true, electoral participation would go up greatly, but I think we are dealing with a misleading advert."

This is just a bit weird. Altough I wanna see the full video

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

the closest thing Camm has got to an orgasm simulated or otherwise involves an exploding condom.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'

Is this is a hoax?

Female orgasm, women being able to vote, politicians in Mexico, etc.

Pretty tasteless and pretty pointless. You've got to wonder what goes through advertising creatives minds when they come up with stuff like this. I mean I know "sex sells" isn't exactly a revolutionary brainwave but "voting" and "sex" are pretty far apart concepts. At least to a person who hasn't had sex in a polling booth such as myself.

I thought it was a pretty, erm, captivating advertisement - which is surely one of their main aims. It's memorable and amusing too. Additionally, they've succeeded in making it go viral round the internet.

A pretty damn successful advertising campaign, I reckon.

It's certainly better than the regular "Oh hey, I'm X. Remember to vote for Y on the Z election. <END>"

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

If it gets people out to vote, I don't care how they do it.

NY had the lowest voter turnout this year. Very disappointing, especially from such a populous state. If they put out an ad like this, I'd be happy it got people to the booths, not upset because it "degraded" women.

Would your rather have a guy in the commercial splooging in his pants?

Meh... 9/10 times it's old/ugly women that complain about this kind of stuff using the term "demeaning to women"

What I meant to say was that it wasn't clever in any way, it was just using sex to get publicity. If it was actually clever or funny then I'd be more inclined to call it a good ad or a good viral ad.

Risque is fine but clever risque.

This for example, (probably NSFW.)
