Memo to erotic film festival organizers: Next time you schedule your big shindig, don't count on your home country's soccer team to bottle it in a major tournament that only comes around once every four years.All the strippers and porn stars at the Barcelona Erotic Film Festival found this out the hard way. Attendance for the film festival dropped 70% from last year, in no small part because the event opened on Thursday, the same day as the EURO 2008 semifinal between Spain and Russia, and closed on Sunday, when Spain won the EURO 2008 Final. So all the boys stayed home. After all, you can see strippers any time you want, but a European Championship only comes around once every 44 years.
Besides, there were probably a lot more naked women dancing in the streets of Madrid and Barcelona after Spain won on Sunday. Why pay for nudity when you can get it for free?
