Berliners were greeted this week with an unusual sight: a giant mock-up of Chancellor Angela Merkel in a purple bra and knicker set.
The 100-sq m image of the leader is part of a nationwide ad 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 u00a45 (Rs 300) discount on a new pair, the ad promises, under the slogan: "The country needs new undies."
