THE latest promotional video from Brussels shows European citizens engaged in enthusiastic congress, but it is not the sort of union the founding fathers had in mind. The film, available on the European commissionÂ’s space on YouTube, the video website, shows 18 couples having sex.
HT Brussel's Journal where a link to the video is posted. I didn't want to embarrass TW by posting it here.
The video opens with a man and woman ripping each other’s clothes off in the bedroom while bottles rattle on a shelf. Seoglene no doubt. In the interests of sexual equality, two of the couples are gay. In an attempt at humour that might go down better in Belgium than in Britain, the film climaxes with quivering bedheads and loud orgasms. It closes with the line: “Let’s come together.”
The video is part of a campaign by Margot Wallstrom, the communications commissioner, to boost interest in the workings of the EU. Other videos among the 44 posted on the website cover the reform of the common market organisation for sugar and the EUÂ’s antifraud office.
