Gleanings Of The 2010 Beijing Auto Show: Breasts Draw Reprimand, Ears Cool

Beijing authorities have slapped organizers of the 2012 Beijing Auto Show with a "serious reprimand" for featuring scantily-clad models. Beijing's Capital Ethics Development Office said that the revealing clothing of some models at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition has had a "negative social impact," the state-owned news agency Xinhua reports.  The ethics office criticized the "vulgar publicity"surrounding the models. Says the government wire: "The statement is believed to be referring to several widely forwarded photos of Gan Lulu, a controversial Internet celebrity, and Li Yingzhi, a BMW model, wearing a deep v-cut top and a skimpy diamond-studded dress, respectively." Online commenters labeled the event as "a breast exhibition with many famous cars." In fulfilling its reporting duty, the state-owned news agency runs a picture gallery with high-res examples of the most vulgar pictures . No reprimand was issued for the showing of protruding ears.     from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
