Oh my god, this is amazing. A German cafe is making people wear swimming pool noodles as hats to enforce social distancing.

. . .except, it was a stunt sponsored by a television station and the cafe is not making customers do this:
Unfortunately this seems to have been the idea of TV reporters, rather than the café https://t.co/plVjWDoFF6

Of course, the reality isn’t going viral:
Thank you @ZiaWeise for pointing out that this was actually a reporter's idea, not the cafe's. As per this report, RTL wanted to see how people reacted. https://t.co/y9k779pT1e

At the very least, delete the tweet and redo it?
