Moscow Bans Ad Showing Euro Humping Dollar

Take That You Meddling American!

An ad campaign running in Russia for Russian Finance Magazine has been banned by the Moscow Committee for Advertising and Information which claims the ad depicts the Euro having sex with the dollar. News Outdoor, a poster company, had to tear down 100 poster immediately after receiving a letter from the committee.

Magazine publisher Igor Maltsev didn’t see a problem with the poster claiming, “I thought the currencies were dancing on our poster.” Obviously, Mr. Maltsev has not been exposed to enough Western media to quickly realize the “poke” at humor.

In the current Iraq/terrorist climate, perhaps the ad is indicative of the feelings many Europeans have towards Americans. Maybe it’s illustrative of their apparent desire to fuck us up the ass for our so called meddling in foreign affairs.
