Spanish Orgasm Video: Driving Voters to the Polls

The Socialist Catalonian Party in Spain is causing a stir with this "orgasm" commercial made to drive voters to the polls.  Watch the video below! 

The commercial depicts a woman having just voted turned on to the point of orgasm. It's causing a fuss from both the right & the left in Spain. Some say it's derogatory towards women. What do you think? Offensive, funny, empowering?

Frankly, I think this video is smart and a more empowering look at women as a driving force at the polls, along with making voting far more appealing... Creative concepts like this should be executed more in an effort to reach non-voters.

The big question to me is: Where are the senior citizen volunteers who usually work the polling stations?

The Manipulator

Photographer Jill Greenberg has a signature retouched style, particularly with her portraits.

When The Atlantic hired her to give John McCain a heroic look for its cover, Greenberg, an ardent Democrat, happily accepted. With only 15 minutes for the shoot, Greenberg certainly got a heroic shot of the Presidential nominee for the cover (see below).

She also captured a more diabolical side while manipulating his image and adding text such as "I called my wife a cunt in front of reporters" which were posted on her website. Seems The Atlantic along with John McCain's campaign didn't appreciate the artistic expression and Greenberg has found herself hit with legal issues as well as surrounded by controversy. Some of the controversial images are below.
