Stuff about Germany: Boobs

Just a small note here. Compared to Canada and the USA, Germany is fairly relaxed about nudity.

Certain amounts of nudity are tolerated in the USA, such as bikinis and underwear adverts, but once you get to less clothing than that, the Americans start to have issues.

Canada is a bit more comfortable, in that certain provinces have allowed toplessness for men and women in public. Rarely done, since society as a whole still has some issues.

Germany is a bit different. While I don't think toplessness is allowed in public, there's much less of an argument against it in advertising, whether in print media or on television. Even still, there is apparently some consideration of whether children will be exposed to it.

So, if you're in Germany, don't freak out too much if you happen to see an advert with some boobs on it. It's normal.
