MSNBC: Billboard shows world leaders in menage a trois (no photo)

VIENNA, Austria - Her Majesty would not have been amused.

Neither would President Bush or his French counterpart, Jacques Chirac, over a Vienna-wide art project depicting them naked and engaged in a sexual act with British Queen Elizabeth II.

The work of “euroPART,” an independent artists’ group, the scenes being displayed on electronic billboards across the Austrian capital were also embarrassing for the government just days before the country assumes the European Union’s rotating presidency Sunday.

Austrian media reported that the offending images were yanked Wednesday — just a day after they started flashing at motorists — on personal orders of Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel. A woman answering the telephone at the chancellor’s public information department who refused to identify herself said she could not confirm the report.

Leading opposition party figures suggested Schuessel was at least indirectly responsible, saying the group had received about $1.2 million in government subsidies.

4. I added a warning
Now you know why I put the picture down a bit. I was afraid someone might be offended.

5. so how bout a link to click on, rather than the image here

I'm guessing the deleted post was yours that had the image in it, so a link with a warning should be ok,

7. Well I was hesitate to post the picture
and I completely understand that not everyone would/could/should appreciate it. I included a link, which is now provided by DU'er nedbal, in my original post. I also said in my post that I would understand if the mods deleted it as was "provocative".
