p2pnet.net News:- OT, but with Janet Jackson’s right breast in mind, Britons won’t be allowed to watch a film encouraging people to vote in the European elections.

Why’s that?

Because it "showed a glimpse of a nipple," writes Andrew Sparrow in the Telegraph Online here.

It, " proved too much for flustered British censors to bear," says Patrick Barkham in the Guardian Unlimited here.

The image was cut before it "could outrage cinemagoers across the UK," says Barkham, adding that the Cinema Advertising Association ordered that the nipple be nipped.

"It forgets the fact that millions of bosoms are thrust into people’s faces every single day in the tabloids," UK MP  Julia Drown is quoted as saying oin a BBC story here.

The ad will, however, be shown in its original version across Europe.
