Pull the Lever For Me: Danish Politician Advertises His Campaign on PornHub

You know, it’s pretty hard to have a decent experience on the Internet. Imagine you’re just minding your own business watching some porn and boom! Some guy pops up with a political ad. That’s disgusting, I don’t want my hypothetical children exposed to that kind of filth when they’re surreptitiously looking at pornography on the family computer while I’m asleep after a hard day in the hot take mines.

But that’s just the kind of filth that Danish politician Joachim B Olsen thinks is appropriate to show on a wholesome website like PornHub. According to the Copenhagen Post, the former Olympic silver medal shot put thrower  is running this ad on the adult website.

“Når du er færdig med at gokke, så stem på Jokke” (when you finish wanking, vote for Jokke’ [a nickname for Joachim]) it reads.

He even confirmed his campaign ran the ad on his Facebook page in the least-interesting social media post to ever start “Yes, that’s me on PornHub.”

His reasoning is actually pretty sound.

“You need to get out everywhere, so we thought it could be amusing with an ad on Pornhub. Half the internet is porn and you need to be where the voters are – including a porn site,” Olsen told DR Nyheder.

That’s a good point, plus all the free advertising he gets from websites covering his ads as if it were actually newsworth… oh son of a bitch. Damn you, Olsen, I’m sending you a bill for this prime internet real estate here.
