In his quixotic attempt to defend the German Constitution and fight right-wing populism, Quickborn (Schleswig-Holstein) mayor Thomas Köppl (50, CDU) posted a Wikipedia screenshot with quotes from the Constitution to the Facebook page of his town. So far, so boring; unfortunately, the lively mayor forgot to close his recent porn tabs when he made the screenshot he later posted. This way he informed his potential voters of his affinity for BDSM, not any, but quality German porn with “German Sluts Punished...” etc.

This action made him a celebrity in Germany within hours, since he’s now prominently featured on Bild.de. If this would be the end of the story, you’d feel sorry for the guy, because you could probably imagine a similar thing happening to a friend of yours. What really made people ROFLMAO, were his explanations and the attempted cover up of the whole thing. He more or less said that he tripped over it. After unsuccessfully claiming, that he was only sharing someone else’s screenshot. He said what really happened:

“I overheard a conversation of some young people in the ski lift. They were mentioning BDSM, so I investigated it online in my room. The connection was poor and I couldn’t see any videos.”

The mayor concluded the post with his view on BDSM: “Whoever likes it, can have fun with BDSM – I find it rather disturbing.”

His party and his wife are currently deciding on who is going to administer the spanking.
