The Motherland

Posted by on Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 12:54 PM

This is the image:

Directly above is Chancellor Angela Merkel; next to her Vera Lengsfeld, a member of Mrs Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union party. These are the words in the image: "We have more to offer." When the voter is done enjoying what these ladies have to offer (the German election happens next month), he/she can use the words of Canaan Banana (former President of Zimbabwe) to express his/her satisfaction: "We have helped ourselves."

From fatherland to motherland...

...that is the history of civilization.

Vera and Angela look practically identical.

Yes, UF, there is some morphological similarity.

Tits are not such a major shock-commodity here. You can't apply American no-beer-in-the-streets logic. This is just a lot of nothing.

I don't get it. Natalie Merchant is the third- or fourth-most-disgusting female singer of all time (after Stevie Nicks and Edie Brickell, and maybe Janis Joplin). Yuck.

In Germany a woman can wear a shirt like this and still be taken seriously in the political arena.

Boobies! (BYW, I'd do Stevie Nicks or Edie Brickell in a heartbeat. Or maybe both at once. Hmm.)
