    German Politician Uses Merkel's Cleavage to Woo Voters

    A German politician has put up campaign posters featuring Chancellor Angela Merkel's cleavage in a bid to attract votes in the Sept. 27 election. Merkel wasn't informed and the party leadership doesn't seem very amused.

    A female member of Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union has raised eyebrows with a campaign poster displaying the chancellor's ample cleavage alongside her own. The poster's slogan reads: "We have more to offer."

    The poster features a photo of Vera Lengsfeld, 57, in a low-cut dress alongside a famous photo of Merkel displaying cleavage during a visit to the opera in Oslo in April 2008.

    The poster shows Christian Democratic candidate Vera Lengsfeld (right) alongside a 2008 photo of Angela Merkel above the slogan: "We have more to offer."

    The head office of the Christian Democrats doesn't seem particularly amused. A spokesman said: "That wasn't agreed with us."

    Lengsfeld, a former East German civil rights activist who was locked up by the Stasi secret police, told the mass circulation daily Bild: "I'm sure Ms Merkel is smiling about it. She's got a sense of humor, after all."

    Lengsfeld, who is running for a seat in the German Bundestag, said she needed to come up with an eye-catching poster for the Sept. 27 federal election because she is campaigning in the deeply left-wing Berlin constituency of Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain, where the CDU got just 12.4 percent of the vote in the last election four years ago.

    She said the poster had attracted 17,000 visitors to her election campaign Web site in a single day. Many of the critical comments posted on her blog came from men accusing her of sexism. One poster, who identified himself as Daniel Baltar, wrote: "Have you gone completely mad? You have declared yourself insane with such posters -- and politically disqualified yourself."

    But several female commentators on the blog said she had shown courage and a certain degree of irony.

    Several regional CDU districts are now considering following suit by using Merkel's cleavage in their own posters. There are no plans so far to feature the revealing photograph on the party's big campaign billboards, though.

    The poster, together with a controversial placard by the opposition Greens party featuring the naked buttocks of a black woman, may mark an attempt to breathe life into what has been a tepid election campaign so far. German comedians last week made their own contribution to stoking interest in the campaign by launching satirical party programs.

            Last night I had a very unusual dream (for me). I dreamt that I was watching Angelina Jolie, clad in white lingerie, have sex with... Angelina Jolie, clad in black lingerie.

            I never have dreams like this. But the thread title jogged the memory.

              It kind of reminds me of this comic.

                  I like that the food network has hot chicks telling me how to cook but I do think it is kind of sad that someone like Julia Child could no longer get a show these days. I mean Julia Child was odd looking with a strange voice but she probably had more impact on what Americans ate in the 1950's-1980's then anyone else. Sure, it's not like Americans in that time ate so good damn world class but it does show that even strange looking people can be extremely good cooks. To bad now they have to be models or we'll never hear about them.

                              Jolie's all sorts of overrated.
                              Unbelievable!
