Cries of ecstasy and clothes torn off in a fit of passion are not what you would normally expect to come out of the European Commission. But the steamy clip of famous sex scenes it produced to promote MEDIA, the Commission's support programme for film and television, has scored a surprise hit on YouTube - as well as grunts of displeasure from Polish politicians. "We've had over 270,000 visitors and top ratings," spokesman Martin Selmayr beams.

Godfrey Bloom, a UK Independence party MEP, said: I suppose this film is appropriate. The EU has been screwing Britain for the past 30 years.

I like how Martin Selmayr, a commission spokesman, put it: "The European Union is not the Bible belt. These clips come from award-winning films and they show the EU's rich cinematic heritage, which we can all be proud of."

Hehehe!

Isn't it weird, though, that those Polish MEPs were offended by the 0.3 second gay sex scene, but not by the 25 other sex scenes, including a foursome? I mean, did they assume that all the other couples were married, and therefore it wouldn't undermine Catholic values?

("This is outrageous. Did you notice? That must have been a gay couple! Now, if that doesn't undermine our good Catholic values! Can you play it back again?")
