Porn site spices up rugby club

Carcassonne – A porn website will be the match sponsor for French rugby club US Carcassonne’s game against Biarritz next month.

The site, Jacquie & Michel, said in a statement: “Commitment, power, endurance and vigour are all values that Jacquie & Michel share with [Carcassonne coach] Christian Labit’s men.”

The club said they had already seen an increase in demand for tickets for the game on March 1. “It’s about being part of a fun and offbeat communication,” said Carcassonne general manager Christine Menardeau-Planchenault.

“There will be nothing that will shock anyone. Today, like many clubs, it’s hard to get people to the stadium, so we thought about a way to create a buzz and decided to partner with them.”

The Carcassonne players will wear shirts featuring the website’s logo during the warm-up. –
