This is a German carnival float:
From Yahoo/Reuters:
A carnival float carries a large papier mache figure of U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) with a long nose, upon which is written 'Iraq (news - web sites) has weapons of mass destruction,' during the traditional Rose Monday carnival parade, in Duesseldorf February 23, 2004. The annual six-day carnival, which peaks on Rose Monday when millions of people watch processions in major cities, is famous for its tradition of crude political satire, beer-guzzling crowds and symbolic castrations.

'symbolic castrations' .... riiiiight. I'm sure it is, but that's a little bit of sensational journalism. Small groups of women(like you and me and a couple more girlfriends- nothing organized) with scissors cut off mens neckties and carry them about as trophies. Even the little boys get into it and wear some truly horrid ties :)

Hehe that's funny. How is that symbolic? I mean, WHY? Why would women do that?
