Some People Take Politics….

….Much, much too seriously. Really 'way too much.

ATHENS (AFP) - Politics and sex don't always mix well — at least in Greece, where a survey has showed that Greeks seem to lose their sexual drive just before an election.

Carried out ahead of last month's local elections, the survey published in Eleftherotypia daily showed that Greeks reduce their frequency of sexual contact to just twice a month before a ballot, compared to four times monthly at other periods.

We're speechless. Perhaps something to liven things up would help? It sounds like there will be a bunch of these available if the Indian government carries through:

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian authorities want to stop the daytime airing of a television advertisement promoting flavoured condoms saying it is obscene and in bad taste, a newspaper reported Friday.

The advert promotes DKT's "XXX" strawberry, chocolate and banana flavoured condoms with the catchline "What is your flavor of the night?."

But the Advertising Standards Council of India and the Censor Board have asked the government to bar the ad from being broadcast during the day, especially during the popular Champions Trophy international cricket tournament.

"This campaign is obscene," Sharmila Tagore, chairwoman of the Censor Board was quoted as saying in the Times of India. "Maybe DKT is targeting raunchy teenagers. But the ads are definitely not meant for children."

Personally, we're of the opinion that Barney is obscene, but that is another topic altogether.
