Too Nude



A 500 year old painting has been deemed too graphic to display in the London Underground :
A 16th Century painting of Venus featuring the Roman goddess of love wearing little but a smile has been deemed too risque for the eyes of London's Tube travellers.

London Underground bosses have banned a poster of the 1532 work by German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, promoting an upcoming Royal Academy exhibition.

The Academy is outraged.

Don't make the Academy angry. You won't like them when they're angry.
