Advertising authorities in Moscow have banned a poster campaign showing the euro having s_x 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."
