40,000 Blowjobs
Via The Forge, via Raph Koster...
A candidate running for a seat on the Belgian senate named Tania Derveaux is offering to give 40,000 blowjobs either in real life or in the virtual world, Second Life.
Apparently, Ms. Derveaux represents the "Nee" Party — meaning "no" party — and if elected, the party has stated that it will vote no on every issue before it. Apparently, voting is mandatory in Belgium, and this is a form of political protest.
The blowjob promotion is a response to what the Nee Party see as ridiculous one-upsmanship amongst the major political parties in that country. First one party promises 200,000 new jobs; their competitors promise 240,000. The Nee Party decides to take the very attractive Ms. Derveaux, have her pose naked, and promise 400,000 jobs, which somehow became 40,000 blowjobs.
This makes American politics seem almost dignified.
