<<So, few days ago, the European Union launched "EU Tube", a new way to spread the news from the parliament and "communicate with the Europeans". They have already launch a lot of videos, and they've planed to launch many locale versions of this channel. This channel is now really popular... due to only one video, watch more than 1.3 millions times! Titled "Film lovers will love this!", the 44-second movie shows sex scenes extracted from some EU-sponsored videos, such as "Amélie " or "Breaking the waves". You can watch this video here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koRlFnBlDH0 . Be careful, it's not safe for work, because of the content, because of the sounds... EU says that these videos cost nothing, but many doubt of that, because that mean a part of the Europeans' income tax is used for that.>>
The video is actually quite harmless :) |
They wanted to attract the attention with a controversial video. It's interesting to see what they intend to do with this attention. ("Amélie " and "Breaking the waves" are excellent films/movies, by the way.) |
Also see these two related (but less popular) videos:
