SEXY EUROPE: So that's what they mean by European union - by Alan Riding
THE European Union feels unloved. Too many Europeans consider its governing bureaucracy, the European Commission, to be meddlesome, stuffy and generally out of touch. It has, you might say, an image problem: even when it does something useful, no one seems willing to give it credit. Just imagine, then, how Eurocrats in Brussels must have buzzed with excitement when some hip marketeer came up with the idea of reaching out to the public through a new website linked to YouTube. Surely young Europeans would now pay attention.
Well, they did, at least to one of the 49 clips now available on youtube.com/eutube. In less than three weeks "Film Lovers Will Love This!", as the video is teasingly called, has had close to 3.5 million hits. And, yes, it shows Europeans enjoying themselves being European — in bed.
