This ad, from the Russian Finance
magazine was banned in Moscow. The poster company had to tear down
a 100 posters overnight after
receiving a letter from Igor Presnyakov, chairman of the Moscow
Committee for advertising and information.
The campaign, by the Russian Finance magazine, was judged immoral by the Committee.
Magazine publisher Igor Maltsev said he did not realise what the posters were supposed to represent. "I thought the currencies were dancing on our poster, but after hearing from Mr Presnyakov I saw that, yes, maybe, this is a love scene." |
