Angela Merkel in her underwear stops traffic



Berliners on the city's main shopping drag, the 'Ku'damm', were greeted on Thursday with an unusual sight: a giant mocked-up image of Chancellor Angela Merkel in a matching purple bra and knicker set.

The 100-metre-square (1,000-square-foot) image of the half-naked world leader is part of a nationwide advertising campaign for an underwear company aiming to cash in on the success of a 'cash-for-clunkers' scheme for old cars.

Punters trading in their old underwear will get a five-euro (seven-dollar) discount on a new pair, the advert promises, under the slogan: 'The country needs new undies.'"
