French Conservatives Lure Youth to Vote with Porn

Conservatives, like everyone else, are different in France. While we could never imagine conservatives in the United States using hardcore pornography as a way to bring the youth vote into the polling booth, in France it's by any means necessary.

AVN (link below) reports that "an outgoing French member of the European Parliament has admitted that he used porn to entice young people to vote in the recent European Parliament elections."

We'd vote more than once if there were naked ladies involved. Hell, we'd even vote in France. We'd vote anywhere.

Joseph Daul, who belongs to the European People's Party (EPP) and grew up in a region of France near its border with Germany, told Les Dernieres Nouvelles d'Alsace that he simply compared the challenges he faced as a youth with the ease of access afforded by membership in the European Union today, figuring the argument would likely sell itself.

'I tell them that at their age, when I was 18, when I wanted to go to Kehl (across the border in Germany) to see porno movies that were banned in France, you had to wait two-and-a-half hours to get through customs,' he explained, adding with typical Gallic flair.

'You'd get to the cinema and the film was already finished. And one out of every couple of times I'd realize I'd forgotten to bring deutschmarks! When you explain it that way to youngsters they understand straight away what Europe means,' he said.

Finally, a guy who's willing to stuff the ballot box.
