No Baby Carriages Allowed

In Germany, the red circle around something is the equivalent to the American red-circle-with-a-line-crossed-through-it, so this graffiti expresses the concept "no baby carriages" ...which is funny because it's stenciled on the sidewalk in one of Berlin's all-time most-baby-carriages-per-capita neighborhoods, around Kollwitzplatz.


Speaking of which, a friend who has a three-month-old just told me she went to a "Kinderwagen-Kino," or "baby carriage cinema," which I assume means a movie showing where parents are actually encouraged to bring their babies along - because if they're all parents, then they can all have sympathy/patience for each other's screaming kids.

She summed up the Kinderwagen-Kino experience with, "Well, it wasn't very quiet."
