Austria’s new clothes
Austria decided to launch its Presidency of the EU by attempting to “sex up” the European Union with this (not safe for work). Did it work?
The Austrian launch not only included the above (which was also displayed on motorway advertising boards - Drivers beware!) but pictures (also not work-safe) of “three people writhing naked while wearing masks of Queen Elizabeth II, US President George W. Bush and French President Jacques Chirac.”
In comparision the UK presidency decided on this (very work safe).
It seems that the Austrians didn’t realise the pictures might cause offence and dropped them after only a couple of days. Good to see that the EU budget is being put to good use. Shame they took them down really. Were you offended?
