Life in the Gaza Strip is notoriously hard, but it turned unbearable after the Hamas regime began enforcing a strict ban on online porn a couple of weeks ago. One man’s trouble is always an opportunity to another, however, so adult entertainment giantSex.com seized the moment to devise what is possibly the boldest publicity stunt of all time.
«Pornographic websites were more visited than social media and news sites in Palestine, meaning that there is a substantial audience that has lost the freedom of sexual expression» read a press release dated September 4th. «Sex.com knows that pornography does not jeopardize social fabrics, in fact it contributes to the overall happiness of a society.» So what would the logical conclusion be?
Clearly, the launch of a “humanitarian aid” operation for both Palestinians and anyone living in a country blocking Internet pornography. Whoever will send an email request to[email protected] is going to receive a free “care package” consisting of a DVD and a 8GB flash drive with photos and videos of his preferred porn genre.
Hopefully nobody will be so stupid to actually receive (or send) such a parcel through an extremist customs office – and a part of me is really waiting to see inflatable sex dolls dispatched as flotation devices for the next flood.
