The German Chancellor is clearly feeling just a wee bit insecure these days. Why else would would he actually go to Court to sue a news agency because they claimed that he used dye in his hair:

"With affidavits from his barber, Schroeder insisted that the article was false and that it had created a wave of stories that were hurting his image."

Would that be his image as an incompetent, plundering, unreconstructed tax-and-spend socialist who is wrecking his country's economy? Oh right, that image.

Anyway, in order to avoid any legal complications here at Samizdata, I hereby categorically refute any suggestions that the German Chancellor has ever dyed his hair. After all, why would he need to? It is a wig.
