Funny election-poster in Germany: Don't vote black.
First: Black is the color-of-arms of the CDU (Christian-Democratic Union).
This was a election-poster of the green party. Sadly, they had to take it down. (Guess why... ;-))



Translation:
"(This is) The only reason to vote/choose Black. Time for Green."

2. Probably because it borderlines on racism
The Germans can handle a little ass shot in public,they aren't as hung up about naughty parts as we are.

3. My sister and her teenage daughter were here last year and they said the same thing.
They live in an area that's probably 90% or more Catholic and even in that part of Germany they don't understand Americans' problem with the human body. They're much more upset about all of the violence depicted on the screen. They were also surprised at all the negative campaign tactics used here. Of course, my sister left this country when Reagan was re-elected so she hadn't really been exposed to American style politics for quite some time.
