Subway officials, in Japan, have reversed an earlier decision to not allow the Harper’s Bazaar cover, showing Britney Spears nude and pregnant, to be displayed in Tokyo subways.

On Thursday, Tokyo Metro said it would allow full presentation of the photo as an exception to its obscenity rule, saying it understood the publisher’s intention was to portray a happy mother – not to be sexually explicit.
In principle, nudity is not accepted in ads in subway cars and stations, said Tokyo Metro spokesman Tatsuya Edakubo.
“Our earlier request to cover the photo from the waist down was because of nudity, not because we had anything against pregnant women,” he said, adding that officials later decided that censoring the photo would be inappropriate. – (AP News)
