Today a number of topless protesters loudly confronted Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel at a trade show in Germany, with Putin making headlines for giving the women two thumbs up. Also of note was VW CEO Martin Winterkorn bearing a loving grin.
The protest occurred just as Putin and Merkel were leaving a presentation at the VW stand at the Hannover Messe, where VW CEO was wrapping up a presentation on the gullwinged 260 mpg XL1 on display.
You can just hear Winterkorn's deep Bavarian accent as this video begins.
Take a close look at that first little smile.
Winterkorn does not seem troubled in the least, especially next to the appalled Frau Merkel.
Winterkorn is a very powerful man in Germany, and he has the glittering eyes of a man who could have you sent to work in a salt mine in the Alps if you dared disobey him. His advisers look at him they're sworn to secrecy about what happened on a particular business trip in Turkey.
As the protesters are dragged off, he looks puzzled, or possibly dismayed that his orderly press conference was disturbed by those gruff security guards.
