Lie back and think of Catalonia

In an effort to promote the Catalan language the Catalan government is investing around £10,000 in a series of "erotic films for women". Projected titles include Laura is Not Alone, The Memory of Fish and The Sea Isn't Blue. While conservatives obviously object to the use of government money for what they consider pornography Catalan separatists are up for it, so to speak. Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira, the leader of the ERC party is quoted as saying, apparently without irony:

"Any normal language is able to penetrate the most obscure places"

Hmm.
