Posters depicting Britney Spears in her naked, heavy with with baby pose from last month's Bazaar have been censored in the subways of Japan, for being "too stimulating". This, from a country that was the birthplace of bukkake and tentacle porn.
The pictures first ran in the August issue of US Bazaar and are set to be included in the October issue of the Japanese version of the mag. An extensive ad campaign was planned to promote the issue, but Tokyo Metro bosses pursed their lips disapprovingly and let the Hello Kitty-shaped gavel of censorship bang, stating that the image of the fallen pop tart naked (yet covered) and lousy with fetus is "too rude and a threat to the nation's young." According to IMDb.com:
A [Toyko Metro] official says, "We thought some of our customers would find it to be overly stimulating." The poster will go on show, but censored below Spears' elbow, with a statement that reads, "We apologize for hiding part of a beautiful image of a mother-to-be."
It's doubtful that the Japanese actually have that much of a problem looking at a poster of a lady with her naked parts covered, which is most likely hanging next to one of those fabled "soiled underage panties" vending machines. They're probably just cowering in fear at the sight of an 8 foot tall Federfetus, threatening to burst forth from its uterine prison and stomp through the streets of Tokyo, rapping about Portugese asses and Pavarottis while smashing cars and eating people; a newborn wigga Godzilla.
