For young people, the upcoming European elections may not be the most exciting event in the world, so the Danish parliament tried to sex-up the ballot in a new TV advert, literally.

Featuring a bare-chested hero called Voteman, the advert starts as he is in bed with five women, and follows him as he punches non-voters in the face and interrupts another couple having sex in order to get them to a voting station.

The video was posted on YouTube and the Danish parliament website, but was removed after an outcry over its lewd and unprofessional content.
