Danes axe election cartoon featuring oral sex and graphic violence

Denmark's parliament has come under fire for a racy cartoon aimed at encouraging young people to vote in the European elections.

The Danish parliament has withdrawn a controversial animation aimed at encouraging young people to vote in the upcoming European parliamentary elections.

The 90-second 'Voteman' clip posted late yesterday by the Folketing parliament was intended as a tongue-in-cheek effort to bring this month's election to the fore in the minds of young Danes.
