Eyeing re-election, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader put up a new billboard next to Berlin's main train station.
It immediately became a meme.
The giant mosaic shows Merkel's hands composed of smaller photographs of hands.
The orange banner on the left reads "Germany in good hands."
The tumblr Merkel-Raute or "Merkel Hash," has been compiling them under the tag "The hands of the Merkel - Germany's future is in good hands" in German.
