POLAND: Large Outdoor Nude Mickey Mouse/Swastika Poster Upsets Many.
AP/ In Poznan, a large outdoor poster with the images of Mickey Mouse, a swastika and a nude woman is causing a stir. The poster, located near a synogogue, was created by Italian Max Papeschi to symbolize the "horrors" of the American lifestyle and is part of an art exhibition opening in the fall. "This art provocation is a form of violence against the sensitivity of many people," said Norbert Napieraj, a city council member who asked prosecutors to ban the poster. Prosecutors meanwhile say that the poster is art and does not violate the country's laws against glorifying Nazism. The poster has been vandalized twice, so far, and temporarily removed.
