Apparently someone in the EU government has proposed a Europe-wide ban on all nudity in all media. In response to this, some girls from Bild newspaper staged the best protest ever. There's a story (in German) and a photo gallery here. The text from the article begins:
Bosoms against Buerocrats! The Page 1 Girls of BILD protested yesterday with outstanding arguments against the newest plan of the European Union social clerk Anna Diamantopoulou, who wants naked pictures in all media to be forbidden. A bright work prohibition for the Page 1 Girls! Therefore they displayed in front of the German agency of the European Union in Berlin: "Naked Censorship? Only what you think?" The European Union officials called the police, arranged after exact view of the problem: "Tighten!"
Babelfish didn't help much with some of those lines...
