The European Union has made a 'soft porn' promotional film
showing 18 couples having sex.
The 44-second video, posted on YouTube, opens with a man and a woman
stripping each other naked.
It's followed by a series of passionate clinches in all manner of
positions - including two gay couples.
The highly charged scenes are interchanged with snaps of bottles rattling
on a shelf and an egg on toast shaking under a grill.
The film, entitled Film Lovers Will Love This, finishes with the
couples' orgasms and the line: "Let's come
together."
It then tells the audience "Millions of cinema lovers enjoy European
films... every year. Europe supports European films".
The video was compiled by the commission's press unit, using footage
from films Amelie and All About My Mother.
It is one of four made for screening in European cinemas to advertise an EU
fund that helps distributes successful films made in one EU state to
others.
Maciej Giertych, an MEP with the League of Polish Families complained the
EU was using "immoral methods".
But Godfrey Bloom, a UKIP MEP, said: "I suppose this film is
appropriate. The EU has been screwing Britain for the past 30 years."

I remember seeing it. I guess they're just trying to sell sex because
the movies lack in other ways. Doesn't say much for that movie
industry over there.
It's not an industry like your hollywood bullshits (which suck
92% of the time). I don't think movies are supposed to be an
industry in first place, but I guess with most of the people that
isn't the case.
