Sexy TV ad spices up German election campaign

A satirical party has spiced up a dull German election campaign with a television advertisement depicting a 90-second sex scene, blurred but leaving little to the imagination.

Die Partei (The Party), whose policies include building a wall around Germany and putting Chancellor Angela Merkel on trial in a cage, said the ad was designed to represent its family policy.

Election rules require broadcasters to give parties advertising time to use as the parties see fit.
