Damn Austerity Measures!: Germany's Bild Newspaper Removes Topeless Cover Models

I guess keeping up with the European hard-nosed banker role they are trying to banish any impropriety from their most circulated newspaper.

"There's long been a discussion about whether it's still in keeping with the times," Tobias Fröhlich, a spokesman for the Bild publisher Axel Springer AG, told Der Spiegel.

However, the newspaper did not rule out publishing nude women within its pages ("better-wrapped, inside the paper"), as other newspapers in Europe do.

Well at least the nude women will be inside the paper hidden from the prying eyes of the party-boy Greeks, Italians, Portuguese trying to get their hands on that sweet German cashola.

I mean Europe expects a certain decorum and sedateness from the new German Banking Empire. So that means more hard faced women in pant suits and less topless babes in thongs. I mean you don't want Germany getting all Bunga Bunga on Europe now.
