Bosnian Politician Uses Sex to Sell

By John Amaruso



Mirad Hadziahmetovic, an independent mayoral candidate in Zenica, Bosnia, is using an unorthodox, albeit interesting way to attract voters to his campaign- by using pornography.

Independent Candidate Mirad Hadziahmetovic
In order to access the lustful content, users must first answer political question posed by the candidate, such as "What is more important for Zenica, job creation or increasing the municipal budget through taxes?" (Associated Press).

When asked about the odd marketing method, the candidate responded by citing the numbers of people who use the internet primarily for sexual purposes.

He must assume that since a large portion of internet users use their time online to scour the web's infinite porn material- they'll have to like him for offering some of his own.


Yes, sex appeal can sell many things. A pair of jeans, a new beverage- but a politician?
