Euro takes the dollar - ad banned in Moscow.

Izvestia writes that this ad, from the Russian Finance magazine was banned with immediate effect in Moscow. The poster company had to tear down a 100 posters overnight after receiving a stern letter from Igor Presnyakov, chairman of the Moscow Committee for advertising and information.
Igor (and probably anyone else who saw it) thought the image depicted a sex scene, while the magazines publisher said: "I thought the currencies were dancing on our poster". A cossack dance, maybe....

They took these down? This ad is GREAT! And I don't even need to know what the line reads.

....What does the line say?

Dabitch's picture

Oh, sorry.

The line reads sortof [bear with me, my russian is terrible] - "The magazine about making money" - you can read it as This is how you make (more) money"

so hey, the line is good too. ;)
