What’s the big issue these days in German politics? Sex appeal. Vera Lengsfeld, a conservative candidate running for parliament, is generating controversy over a campaign billboard she posted in her voting district. The billboard uses an unauthorized photo of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and shows both middle-aged women sporting very, very revealing tops that expose “Real Housewives”-level cleavage. Across the bottom, the billboard reads, “We have more to offer.” Merkel is shocked by the photos and so are many Germans. But the billboard does seem to have served its purpose. Lengsfeld is getting quite a bit of attention, even if has nothing to do with her politics. Do you think her girls can get a woman elected?

I really don’t think she should have done that. Now pervs will vote for her because she was showing cleavage. If they should vote for her it’s because she’s smart and will be able to handle Germany. Not because of her ‘sex appeal’! If women in the future of politics bring in more sex, we’re screwed, because a lot of men see us as objects, not human beings who are intelligent and have an opinion. Not a good move on her part. Her position is under-minded and she looks immature.
