Renaissance filth

LONDON, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The London Underground has decided not to allow a Royal Academy of Arts poster to be displayed at stations because it depicts a naked Venus.

Transportation officials said the portrait, created by 16th-century artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, was barred from the train stations due to fears that it may violate advertising guidelines on sex and nudity, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
