“Berlin – Busen gegen Bürokraten! Die Seite-1-Mädchen von BILD protestierten gestern mit herausragenden Argumenten gegen den neuesten Plan der EU. EU-Sozialkommissarin Anna Diamantopoulou will Nacktbilder in allen Medien verbieten – ein blankes Arbeitsverbot für Seite-1-Mädchen!”

For the ignorant:

“Berlin - Bosoms against Bureaucrats! The Page 1 Girls of VILD protested yesterday with prominent arguments against the newest plan of the EU. EU Social Commisar\* Anna Diamantopoulou wants to forbid naked pics in all media - a blanket work prohibition for Page 1 Girls!”

([http://www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/index.html](http://www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/index.html) and click on “Demo Gegen Nackt-Zensur”)  
\*Yes, I know that “Kommissarin” is more technically translatee as “Commissioner”, but “Commissar” is far more appropriate to the context.  
So, even the Germans can get fed up with EU bureaucratic nonsense, it seems.
