Advertising authorities in Moscow have banned a poster campaign showing the euro having sex with the US dollar.

The campaign, by the Russian Finance magazine, was judged immoral by the Moscow Committee for advertising and information, reports Izvestia.

Advertising company News Outdoor had to tear down 100 posters overnight in Moscow, after receiving a warning letter from the committee chairman Igor Presnyakov.

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," he said.

"But after hearing from Mr Presnyakov I saw that, yes, maybe, this is a love scene."

Too funny. And with the dollar in defacto devaluation, kinda on the money, too.

'Having sex with'

A polite way of saying 'buggering'.

Pretty accurate cartoon, except that it's the folks holding paper who are being screwed, not the currencies themselves.

Avoid prison rape - buy gold. ;^)

Looks like "journal for the working day" to me - but my Russian skills went in the toilet long ago.

That was my very first thought after looking the picture, but Altavista gave me this:

"periodical about that, as they are done by den"

I think we need a human being to translate it for us.

"den" is "day", and "dyelaootcia" is "working". The first word with the three-toed candelabra is "journal".

And all that other crap consists of a bunch of irregular articles which only mean something when strung together.

[historian1944]

I think it's "journal about those financial matters" or some such. I don't have a slang dictionary with me, but I think the "den" is a truncated form of "dengi" which is money. If my wife wasn't back home in Russia I'd ask her.
