Top German paper takes topless women off front page
Fri Mar 9, 2012 3:11pm EST

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's best-selling daily has decided to remove its trademark pictures of topless women from the front page in a gesture towards complaining readers, the paper said on Friday.

Bild, which sells about 4 million copies a day, will now carry the images on page three instead, a format favored by British tabloids.

**SNIP**

Topless women on the cover have been part of Bild's identity for 28 years. More than 5,000 have bared their breasts there since 1984, the daily said.

...in a gesture towards complaining readers...

Technically, you don't have to be a reader to look at nekkid women.

Wow. Tell me again how the braille version of this paper works?

Cheers!

May grandfather, who spent a summer in Hamburg in the 1920’s so he could pass German 1.01, brought back sheet musik for that song that included the “humorous” verse “Ist das nicht der Jude Meyer?”, illustrated with the silhouette of an Hasidic man. A real laugh riot, them Krauts. (Oh du schoene, oh du feine Jude Meyer.) Some were a little better, like the illustration of a Schwiegermutter (rhymes with Teller Butter) brandishing a rolling pin.

Maybe that’s were Göring got his inspiration for his famous quote, “No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr. If one reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Goering. You may call me Meyer.”
