Berlin's tourism authority has come under fire for its direct approach in sending a reminder to people to obey coronavirus rules.
"The German capital's tourism authority has withdrawn a controversial advertisement in which an elderly lady gives the middle finger to individuals who do not wear masks.
"Visit Berlin and the Berlin Senate on Tuesday launched the advert, entitled 'We obey the corona rules,' aiming to prevent further spread of the coronavirus and to highlight the importance of safeguarding the health of the elderly.
"Above the image of the woman wearing a floral-patterned mask and giving onlookers the finger. The poster reads: 'A finger-wag for all those without a mask.'"
