Preggy Britney Photo Was Deemed “Too Stimulating” For Japan
August 24, 2006 by cd
A poster showing singer Britney Spears nude and pregnant has been rejected by officials at Tokyo’s subway system. The photo, which appears on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine’s Japanese edition, was considered to be “overly stimulating” for public display.
The image previously appeared in the magazine’s US edition in August.
However, Metro officials have agreed to display a version of the promotional poster in which everything below the American pop star’s elbow is masked.
The censored version contains a statement reading: “We apologise for hiding part of a beautiful image of a mother-to-be.”
Spears, 24, and husband Kevin Federline, 28, are expecting their second child in the autumn. The couple already have an 11-month-old child, Sean Preston. (photo credit: Associated Press)
