MEXICO – Millions of Mexican males are being advised to seek medical advice after the appearance of an assistant in a revealing dress led to an interest in politics lasting for more than four hours.
Playboy model Julia Orayen only appeared for 24 seconds of the televised debate, but Mexico’s electoral authority warned it may have been enough to keep men engaged in its outcome for longer than usual.
In a worrying sign, several suffers have claimed her showing may have been enough to hold political interest until the next debate in June.
Should symptoms persist
Though many viewers were unaffected, a significant number have contacted Mexico’s Federal Electoral Institute after the incident, saying it left them with a “raging” interest in the long-term ramifications of the presidential race.
“We are sorry about the production error associated with the clothing of one of the assistants during the first presidential debate that has resulted in a longer than normal interest in the talking points surround the selection of Mexico’s next president,” a statement released by the Commission said.
“This thing is very hard to cover up,” admitted one viewer Juan Rodriguez, 27, who confessed to talking nonstop about the debate since it ended days ago.
Mr Rodriguez added: “It’s been a while now and I’m walking around with this huge obsession in the state of our country’s political future – she was only on screen for a few seconds.”
‘Aieee mamacita’
Electoral Institute director Alfredo Figueroa urged young males to visit a medical professional if they find themselves still suffering symptoms including reviewing footage of the debate over and over.
“Usually the interest in these session dies down naturally after a short time. But even now we still get reports of people still interest in Mexican politics.”
The recommended extent of political interest after a debate among young men is thought to be “typically around two hours or so. Four hours max,” according to a government source.
“If you are still concerned in the outcome of this presidential race please go see a doctor.”
