global players
A sculpture in a southern German town depicts five German politicians, naked, grabbing each other’s crotches.
The controversial sculpture belongs to a tryptich in the center of Bodman-Ludwigshafen, near its town hall. At first glance the whole relief looks like a lively panorama populated with cartoonish Germans. But one detail shows five German politicians — including Chancellor Angela Merkel and former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder — naked and laughing and grabbing each other’s genitals. A banner over their heads reads, in English, “Global Players.”

Imagine what would happen if a similar scene were to appear stateside.
