Vera Lengsfeld and fellow Christian Democrat (CDU) member Chancellor Angela Merkel are baring more than just their hearts to German voters. Lengsfeld’s latest campaign poster prominently displays the pair’s cleavage with the text “We have more to offer.”
The posters have attracted more than 31,000 hits on Lengsfeld’s blog, proving that old adage: there’s no such thing as bad coverage.
Asked if she thought the posters were sexist, Lengsfeld told the BBC “A woman is a woman even if she is a politician so she can show that she is a woman.”
