Nude Merkel Montage Raises Eyebrows.
It's not the first time the Polish weekly Wprost has gotten in trouble in Germany. This week, the cover depicts Chancellor Angela Merkel breast-feeding the Kaczynski twins. But it could have been worse, the editor-in-chief points out. At least they used a 21-year-old model.

It's not exactly how one expects to see German Chancellor Angela Merkel: The broad, friendly smile seems completely at odds with her open blouse, two bare breasts spilling out. On each breast, one of Poland's governing Kaczynski twins is affixed -- Prime Minister Jaroslaw is suckling on the left, President Lech has attached himself to the right. One of them is holding up the "victory" sign right in Merkel's cleavage.

5. The Poles are griping because Germany doesn't treat them like "equals"
So this conservative magazine responds by being a bunch of sexist assholes????? Heaven forbid they could discuss the issue without going for a cheap shot, I guess:

    The image is on the cover of this week's Wprost, a conservative Polish newsmagazine that has not shied away from firing barbs at Germany in the past. The headline reads: "Europe's Step-Mother." As current holder of the EU's rotating presidency, Merkel, the magazine seems to be saying, is treating the rest of Europe like her step-children. And during last week's EU summit in Brussels, the article inside makes clear, she has been particularly condescending to the Poles. The magazine writes of Germany's "post-colonial reflexes" and says that six decades after the end of World War II, "the Germans still aren't able to treat Poles like partners."


And gee, the Poles (at least the ones who publish this magazine) aren't too fucking bright, are they? One doesn't suckle one's STEP-children, as a rule, does one, now!!!

I dunno--I think it's the sort of stunt the GOP would pull--a typical, sexist, tasteless bit of insulting. I don't know if the Poles have a point, or not, but they didn't win a fan for their viewpoint with that method of approaching the issue.

They come off like assholes.
