In Spain, Football Is More Important Than Porn

by Brinson on June 30, 2008

The Spanish love their porn. How else can you explain an “International Erotic Film Festival of Barcelona” that is an annual affair in their country?

Turns out, though, that they like their dribble penetration more than their, um, penetration.

About 15,000 people flocked to the three-day International Erotic Film Festival of Barcelona (FICEB), staged for the first time in the Spanish capital this year since it started being held in 1992.

Previous editions of the event, which features performances by buxom strippers and appearances by top porn stars, have drawn over 50,000 people.

FICEB director Juli Simon blamed the lower-than-expected turnout on the fact that the festival’s opening day coincided with Spain’s 3-0 Euro 2008 semi-final win over Russia which drew a record Spanish television audience of 17 million.

“Football is one of the few things that can compete with sex,” he told private television station Telecinco.

Now, in all fairness, if the Carolina Panthers were in the Super Bowl (and I had reasonably and readily available tickets of course), I would pass up on the Pr0nnies to go see them play too. Sure, soccer is sport for Euros and 12 year olds but that doesn’t make it any less manly or important to their country.

Besides, it’s not like you can’t find strippers anywhere you want? And porn stars are pretty readily available too, as long as you don’t mind them not actually being, you know, real. (Upside: They don’t know you’re watching!)
