A German mayor was left embarrassed after a screenshot of his computer he used to make a political point revealed his penchant for 'punishment' pornography.
Mayor Thomas Köppl posted a picture of the German Constitution to back up points he was making in a debate about the Alternative for Germany party (AfD), which is anti-Euro and immigration.
He wrote: 'The AfD isn't a party just like the others any longer. After pushing [party founder Bernd] Lucke and his democratic friends, this party no longer stands on the foundation of our Constitution.'
But the screenshot also revealed other tabs on his browser, pages entitled 'Punishment Porn Videos', 'BDSM porno videos', and 'German slut punished', Bild reported on Friday.
People commenting on the story were quick to point out the BDSM pornography pages, which also included one saying 'HAMSTERS Gratis porn'.
One reader on the newspaper website wrote: 'DON'T MISS: Group guinea pig sex 'too loud' say neighbours.'
Köppl, mayor of Quickborn, near Hamburg, initially claimed that someone else had taken the screenshot, and deleted it, but eventually admitted that it was in fact him.
