Someone probably should have told this mayor to delete his browsing history before he took this *embarrassing* screenshot.

German mayor Thomas Koppl was taking part in a debate on the Alternative for Germany party when he tried to take a screenshot of the German constitution to prove a point about far-right politics.

He successfully took the screenshot showing the German constitution but unfortunately forgot to close other rather private tabs in his browser.

The five tabs reportedly showed porn videos featuring BDSM, with one tab showing the awkward label ‘German slut punished’.

Koppl, who is mayor of Quickborn, quickly deleted the screenshot after realising his mistake, yet of course no one was going to miss the opportunity to screengrab THAT.



According to the newspaper Bild, the mayor later explained that he was on holiday at the time in South Tyrol and had heard a group of young men talking about BDSM.

The mayor claims he was just looking up what BDSM meant as he was unfamiliar with the term (Picture: Getty)

He told reporters he was unfamiliar with that acronym and decided to google it.

He said: ‘I wasn’t so up-to-date about that, which annoys me. They were mentioning the site Xhamster, and when I got to my room I wanted to get clued-up.’

Yeah, sure you did..
