Finnish Love Vacation



128tommyMember of Parliament Tommy Tabermann has proposed that the four weeks of annual vacation in Finland be expanded to include a 7-day “love vacation” to strengthen relationships.

According to Tabermann, the purpose of such vacations would be to prevent relations from disintegrating and the spouses from drifting apart.
During the seven days, couples could devote themselves to each other ”both at an erotic and emotional level” and ”find their way back to the path of love in order to find the wellspring of love again”.
Some MPs suspected that the proposal might discriminate against single persons, but others said that a love vacation would be the privilege of all, even the singles and the single parents.

The proposal was sent to committee for study. Link -via Boing Boing

    Tabermann is a clown. i’m ashamed to share a country with him and the people who voted him.

    he is just using his position to make idiotic proposals to get publicity for his love poem books

    I never thought I would ever hear a politician say the word “Erotic”. :)

    I’m waiting for our current presidential administration to propose a 7 day work week in order to strengthen the economy. Of course the extra days worked wouldn’t be paid, it would be a bonus to employers to offset any taxes the companies have to pay.

    I’m ashamed to share this country with narrowminded blockheads like Paavo. Go get yourself a sense of humor, or at least a sense of humanity. Life is not in black and white, even here, anymore.

    Seriously, why can’t they just use one of their four weeks for lovin’? Why doesn’t the government just promote the idea of a love vacation and let them decide what to do with their time? Yes, I’m jealous :)

    I bet his wife is not in favor of this proposal. He is a scary-looking individual.
