It's funny how different the reporting on this is. Some pieces you get the idea that it's pretty clear the sisters were looking for publicity, in others that it's a by-product of a random positive moment. I'm definitely getting the impression that German culture doesn't think you should look like you're having fun if you're supposed to be working.

Yes, this has gone on before.

Yes, this has gone on before. No, it isn't new. But don't try to tell me that people thinking it's ok to do this has nothing whatsoever to do with the messaging and behavior of public figures and leaders. Looking at you, Fox News and Trump and his enablers.
