Nude Britney ad given go-ahead on second attempt

Tokyo officials have reversed an earlier ban and will allow a nude pregnant Britney Spears advert to run on the city's underground system.

And finally, as they say, an advert showing a nude pregnant Britney Spears will be displayed on Tokyo's underground system, despite an earlier decision to ban the image. Officials originally banned the ads for the next issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, which includes the Britney pic on its cover, because they said the image was "overly stimulating" for public display. But they say that they now realize that the picture intended to "portray a happy mother rather than to be sexually explicit", so everything is alright again.
