Amadeus Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 You gotta love this little mountain country at times, especially after this: Austria Drops "Porno" Posters A number of controversial posters, one featuring naked models posing as world leaders engaged in a simulated sex act, have been removed from a campaign celebrating Austria's EU presidency. When the Austrian government said it wanted its EU presidency to start with a bang, it probably didn't have one in mind involving US President George W. Bush, French President Jacques Chirac and Queen Elizabeth II. Posters from an art project promoting Austria's EU presidency were removed by organizers Thursday after a storm of protest. The offending material depicted naked models posing as the British monarch and the two statesmen seemingly having sex. The project's organizers together with artists Carlos Aires from Spain and Tanja Ostojic from Serbia opted to pull the posters after a public furor that embarrassed the Vienna government, according to a report from APA, the Austrian news agency. And here are the pics, which - until a short while ago - where proudly displayed on hundreds of billboards in prominent places across Vienna, all funded by the taxpayer: Welcoming the EU with open..er... Just imagine posters like that displayed around Douglas - well, there's a thought for next year's election.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
