Explosive Satire
Cologne Carnival parade is always a bit irreverent, but this float showing two men in turbans, carrying weapons and wearing explosive belts, sparked a bit of controversy.
Hartz and Friends
Former Volkwagen boss Peter Hartz didn't escape satire at this year's Carnival parade. He confessed last week to having arranged lavish foreign trips and visits to brothels with company funds.

Um, excuse me, but I think you're missing something...
Nuclear Body Odor
A caricature of US President George W. Bush turns up his nose as an oversized Mahmud Ahmadinedjad shares a bit of body odor. The figure representing the Iranian president bears the words "Achsel des Bösen," or "Armpit of Evil," which sounds very similar to "Achse des Bösen," or "Axis of Evil."
Carnival Boxing
France's presidential candidates Segolene Royal and Nikolas Sarkozy met in the ring during the Carnival parade in Cologne on Monday, Feb. 19. Who won? You'll have to wait for the election.
