Ukrainian politics gets all the good candidates.
Valeria Prokopenko, 21, is running for mayor of Odessa, and her chance of winning just soared after someone “leaked” a video of her stripping days before the October 25 election. The Daily Mail reports, the “jobless law graduate claims she made the video to compete in a beauty contest known as ‘Miss Olymp’ and did not expect it to surface before the elections on Sunday.”
But it did, and her popularity has since soared.
The two minute-long video begins with Prokopenko rolling around on top of her bed in a vest and grey leggings. For most of it, she strolls around the apartment in black pants and a loose-fitting t-shirt – flaunting her legs as a cameraman follows her very closely from behind. It is suspected an opponent posted it on the internet to damage her chances, but the raunchy footage could have the opposite effect. (Via)
It’s like they say, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Unless it’s a two-minute video of Donald Trump rolling around on a bed, half-naked, with a bucket full of chicken bones from Donald Trump’s House of Wings, then it’s horrible, blinding, oh-god-why-does-this-exist publicity.
