“I’m Big in the Bumdestag”
This unflattering picture of German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a British newspaper has sparked a backlash from the German government and media. The Sun printed photos of Mrs Merkel on holiday taken from behind while changing into her bathing costume. The Sun printed the photos under one of its trademark puns: “I’m Big in the Bumdestag”.
This makes the Mohammed cartoons pale in comparison, but the first question that everybody has got to be asking: Why?
Why the world needed to see Merkel’s naked rear end we will never know? Thankfully The Sun never found topless pics of Mrs Thatcher?

I’m pretty sure the pic is fake… since I can’t find anything online about it.
