A mayor 'accidentally' revealed his porn habits on Facebook and his excuse is absolutely abysmal

We’ve all been there. Casually scanning through our collection of hardcore BDSM porn videos when we’re struck by an idea for a political argument, one that could potentially bolster our standing amongst our peers.

Excited, in every sense of the word, you leap from your sweat-stained computer chair and screengrab an image of the German constitution, hit send and blast (the picture) out all over social media.

Feeling smug you settle back down to review your carefully selected smut and then… bugger. You didn’t close any of your porn browsers before you screengrabbed.

Not only does the entire world now know that you have some heavy thoughts on far-right politics but they also know that you’re really into punishment porn videos, including not one, but two videos questionably entitled: ‘German slut punished’

Never happened to you? No, us either, if only we could say the same of German mayor of Quickborn (hereby known as #QuickPorn) Thomas Koppl, who made this exact Facebook gaff.

The grab was deleted fairly quickly, followed by the entirely predictable excuse of ‘someone else did it.’ However, what followed was the dawning realisation that it was quite tricky to deny that it was taken from his iPad while he was logged onto the Italian WiFi in the place where he was staying in Italy.

And so, he admitted taking the snap and instead offered the following excuse. An excuse that is utterly pitiful.

He said that he’d overheard a conversation in a ski lift, one in which a group of young men were, as young men often are, engaged in a lighthearted chat about BDSM. Koppl, a man of the people, was confused by this acronym.

In fact, in his own words:

“I wasn’t so up-to date about that, which annoys me. They were mentioning the site Xhamster, and when I got to my room I wanted to get clued-up.’

And clued-up he did. In fact, he go so clued-up that he opened up five tabs of solid BDSM, practically queuing the stuff up so he could get real clued-up.

Next time you don’t know a word that all the kids are using, we suggest you just use Urban Dictionary, Koppl. Or, keep your private browsing time, private.
