Help Wanted: Sex Party Seeks a Slogan

Having brought you all the wonderful news last month of the creation of the Australian Sex Party, we figured having now adopted them as our favorite new political party, any news is good news when it comes to our girl Fiona Patten. Fiona was gracious enough to visit here and leave a comment last month which, I have to admit, kind of turned me on. I'm so tempted to invite Fiona over to North Jersey to see if she could help me launch my own satellite chapter of the ASP while we visit area strip clubs to do some voter outreach and help raise awareness of this burgeoning grassroots movement.

So we feel obliged to help the latest effort to come up with a party slogan and I know there are myriad possibilities for mischief, so have at it and be creative.

AUSTRALIA'S most risqué political party needs help to find a fitting slogan.

The Australian Sex Party, which has signed up 1500 members since its launch about four weeks ago, is looking for a catchphrase with connotations.

The party's convenor Fiona Patten said it was still to bed down a slogan before officially registering the party next year.

Last month they were running with the slogan 'We're Serious About Sex', but I guess they're looking for something edgier.

How about Screw the Voters?

'We're Serious About Sex'

Tired of being screwed over by politicians? Why, then join the Sex Party.

Sex is a wonderful thing. It's the reason we were born and (mostly) its NOT the reason we die. Sex, as gender, defines who we are and often what roles we undertake in society. It's responsible for a heck of a lot of pleasure and fulfillment in life. Also, the basis of much art, fashion and music. It entertains us, enthralls us and mystifies us. Because its such a fundamental need of human beings, it conditions much of our behaviour. And then politicians go and legislate that behaviour.

The Australian Sex Party is a political response to the sexual needs of Australia in the 21st century. It is an attempt to restore the balance between sexual privacy and sexual publicity that has been severely distorted by morals campaigners and prudish politicians.

SEX sells, and the newly formed Australian Sex Party knows it.

That's why, even with what seem to be sensible policies rooted in a desire to make sexuality and discussions about it less touchy subjects, the party has chosen a name that stands out from the traditional ballot paper line-up.

The party, with the slogan "we're serious about sex", launches at Melbourne Sexpo on November 20th and party convenor Fiona Patten is confident it will gain the 500 members required to register and contest state Upper House and Senate seats.

Ms Patten, who is also the chief executive of the Eros Association - representing the adult retail and entertainment industry, said she and others were concerned about the Government's proposed internet filter, which is being tested over summer on about 10,000 sites to block "unwanted content".

"This really came out of 20 years of lobbying on sex and censorship and then... the latest being the compulsory internet filter, which will ... prohibit and blacklist adult material that is currently legal in magazines, books and film," she said.

"When we started talking about the Australian Sex Party, we realised that sex is a lot broader than just censorship and a lot of the policies are a lot broader."
