Tokyo Subway Bans Britney Spears Naked Pictures

by Leora on August 24th, 2006

Britney Spears Half Naked in MagazineHave you seen these hideous pictures of a half naked Britney Spears?  They’re really gross in my opinion.  No wonder Tokyo Metro Officials don’t want them hanging that poster.

Tokyo’s subway has refused permission for an advertising poster featuring a nude and heavily pregnant Britney Spears, branding it "too stimulating" for young people.

The picture of the pop singer — nude but covering her breasts with her arms and crossing her legs at the knee — appeared in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar and will be on the cover of the magazine’s Japanese edition in October.

The publishers had hoped to display the cover photo for a week at a subway station in a trendy part of central Tokyo, but ran into resistance.

"We thought some of our customers would find it to be overly stimulating," said a Tokyo Metro official.

Harper’s Bazaar could not be reached for comment.

Not all was lost. The Metro and the publishers agreed to display the poster after all but masked the picture below the former teen idol’s elbow with a statement reading: "We apologize for hiding part of a beautiful image of a mother-to-be." Via Yahoo

What I don’t get is how they can call the image beautiful…maybe something was lost in translation?  Maybe the Japanese words for sick and beautiful are similar.  hehe
