Parliament forced to pull graphic voter cartoon

The Danish parliament has withdrawn a €27,000 cartoon video featuring scenes of group sex, oral sex and a non-voter being decapitated that had been aimed at motivating young people to vote in European parliamentary elections.

The cartoon, posted on the parliament’s Facebook and YouTube sites, had led to protests both from politicians and in social media.

The video portrayed a ‘superhero’ named Voteman. First pictured in bed with five women, he then rushes off using dolphins as skis to ensure people vote in the election.
