Hungary's authorities are hoping that a marketing ploy aimed towards those with an interest in illicit sex will get today's young people to visit the Lake Balaton resort. The tourism authority is sending out e-mails with a link leading viewers to a short cartoon that features a couple having extramarital sex on a boat.

By clicking on http://abalatoninyar.fw.hu/, prospective visitors will see a cartoon of a young blond woman doing the deed with a married on a fishing boat on the lake.

The film, which is set to a popular '80s song, shows the tourist hiding his wedding ring and the woman taking off her bra.

Balaton was a popular spot for Germans and east Europeans to visit in the days Hungary was under communist rule, but in the past few years Hungarians have been choosing to spend the summer abroad.
