It's a step up from traditional Political ads.

A German Anarchist political party has revolutionized political advertizing. No more soundbites, no more mud slinging, just a heavy metal soundtrack, booze and people kissing and groping each other.

Wait a sec, Germany has an Anarchist party? That's just awesome.
Sadly this might be the wave of the future. If this style works for selling useless corporate-produced crap no one really needs(and it does), why can't it work for selling useless politicians no one really needs?

Is it just like a party for ravers or something?

Most countries do have Anarchist parties in one form or another - most are smaller than the 750 members quoted for the German one. I think Reuters may be right when they say the APPD will make 'no discernible impact' in the election.
Funny, but they'd probably get more votes as the "Beer, porn, and other naughty things" party. They aren't real anarchists. :p

UKIP (the UK independance party) ran an ad before the election with a giant octopus (representing Europe) attacking the houses of parliament. I don't think any British anarchist parties had TV ads though.

That's because there isn't a British Anarchist party. True anarchists wouldn't form a political party even if it was more of a joke.
