Does it exist in your country?

Yeah sometimes Belgium is a bit surrealist...

We have our yearly coup d'état (the last one happened yesterday: this guy, an anarchist artist, who threw a pie on Bill Gate and on the new French President, entered the Royal Palace with a black & red + banana flag)
Nouvelle tentative de Jan Bucquoy - Lalibre.be

Then, our political campaigns are MUCH more interresting:

"I promise you 400,000 jobs"

Quote:

Politics are much more interesting in Belgium. Here in the US, we have debates over various issues, whether they are taxes, the war in Iraq, terrorism, foreign policy, whatever. Serious issues to be sure, but quite honestly not particularly interesting.

Over in Belgium, the NEE party is a bit fed up with the other candidates. Several parties have made some outlandish promises for job opportunities. There’s nothing worse than politicians making promises they can’t keep. So in response, the NEE party started a campaign, in which one of the candidates, a certain Tania Derveaux, posed naked, and promised 400,000 new jobs to her country. In case you didn’t catch on, the campaign is a parody, and designed to get attention.

Get attention it did. Hundreds of people emailed Tania, and said they would prefer to get 400,000 blowjobs instead. Tania was afraid of doing permanent damage to her jaw, as 400,000 is certainly an awful lot of blowjobs. As a compromise, Tania Derveaux has decided to give 40,000 blowjobs to further her party’s cause. To accomplish this, Tania would tour the world for 500 days non-stop, giving an impressive 80 blowjobs per day.

Nope, sadly. In Sweden we have it only off sport. That we have a girl that will ride naked around the track if she wins swedish trav race. The race their you sit in a sulky/small wagon and are drag by a horse that are not allowed to run, but only trava (another world I only know in swedish). In politcis we only have reporters from the state telivsion shoting water on the primeminister from microphone. And after that everyone is really pissed and the report facing charges from the security police that are both embaraced and pissed off.

For those whose wives wouldn’t approve of recieving a blowjob from a Belgian politician, you also have the choice of recieving it virtually, via Second Life.

Now how do you get a virtual blow job?

Also I want to point out this is extremely sexist and I will protest until she provides these services to woman also!

I don't know about that, it's an entirely different skill set...

In order to help with fairness, I would be willing to volunteer my time...

During the elections at the federal level, the winner is the one who "win" most of the communes (villages/parts of cities). But Brussels is strategic.

Since the polls said "party X is going to win", the party Y brought a new candidate there, a famous one, but she had nothing to do with the town (she lives in another town). So we said she has been "paradropped" in Brussels:

"Schaerbeek (the name of the town) - the longest day"
(reference to the American soldier who stayed stuck on the top of the church of Sainte Mère l'Eglise in France, 6th June 1944)
