Feb. 23, 2011: Titian suffers prude vandalization

I'd rather see a vandalised billboard than a vandalised painting.
It is quite amusing and very well done.

Isn't this a movement in America, not by prudes but by feminists? (without googling I think it's called "cover up"?
Which is basically against the idea of female nudity being used to sell items/ tickets/ ideas? I'd be very much against this kind of amending of posters if it happened in this country. Anyone can see titties on Page 3 of the tabloids every day so why penalise art? But in the confusing (to me) moral climate of America I can see how it could be a feminist message, not Philistine prudery.
