Bild newspaper banishes boobs to inside page
Published: 9 Mar 12 11:38 CET | Print version
Online: http://www.thelocal.de/society/20120309-41241.html
Germany’s daily dose of naked flesh - the Bild newspaper’s Page 1 girl - has been moved inside the paper, following years of complaints from women that front-page breasts were inappropriate.
- Cardinal: Women should stay at home and breed (24 May 13)
- Brewers: 'No fracking with our German beer' (23 May 13)
- Ten German body parts (23 May 13)
The then 23-year-old Evelyn Rillé who had just been crowned Miss Vienna, was the first woman to appear topless on the front page of Europe’s biggest-selling paper without the slightest news connection.
Previously, items such as the French fashion for topless sunbathing in 1973, had been necessary to justify putting topless women on the front page.
Bild chose this week to move their Page 1 girl inside, saying it was a decision made by their all-male editorial team which had been working on International Women’s Day on Thursday.
The British newspaper the Sun put topless women in its paper earlier – starting in 1970 – but they have always remained inside the paper on Page 3.

I would say it's a good move by Bild, but I doubt it's because they care about women.
Viewing the present day trends directed at women one doubts whether they have really achieved anything.They appear to have forsaken the eternal love of the Lord, falling in favor of big business bigotry, undressing clothes in naked exhibition and denuding themselves of natural body hairs for the sake of promoting fashion business and ignoring Creator's purpose.
And greedy males only suck the sweet milk provided from supple breasts and box them when their purpose is served.
Ordnung muss sein!
Here's the Bild's version. Proof yet again of the absolute gayification of German (ex)men.
And also I'm a dude by the way ;)
To be offended is more a personell problem, most likely caused by a human body phobia of some sort. I think many of those people are less concerned with explicit violence, than they are with partial nudity.
I am COMPLETELY TIRED OF IT AND I WANT TIME ABOUT "FAIR PLAY"!!
Whats good for the GOOSE - is good for the GANDER!!
Ladies, I say we've been inundated with ENOUGH "T. & A."!!! We've tolerated YEARS of it!! Time WE get some nice pics of some "P. & A.'s"!! and get OUR FAIR PEICE - of a tickle & giggle!
I don't know WHAT these guys at the papers are thinking bc they are falling WAY behind the TIMES - women today are NOT SHY and the younger generation of us is rather annoyed with it all being "one sided" and only putting US out there!!
Either the time has come to CUT IT OUT and quit displaying ONLY WOMEN - or MOVE OVER and give us our FAIR CUT on it too!!
I've got a good mind to try to roust a TWITTER UPRISING and try to get all the girls we can to "occupy the newsstands" and pass out copies of those FAB HOT TO TROT NUDE FOOTBALLERS in the posters promoting the Vienna Museum!
SOOOOO LADIES!! on page 4 - WE - should be able to tickle our fancies with some GORGEOUS HOT MUSCULAR YOUNG HUNG STUDS!!
And THEIR "P. & A." s should be as JUST as "STUDLY" too!!
SICK OF IT! REALLY DISGUSTED!! Either make it FAIR or CUT IT OUT!!
And for those of you MEN who say "OOOH NO!! I dont wanna wanna have to see all that hung out in my face!" WELL ITS NOT LIKE WE LIKE HAVING IT ALL HUNG OUT IN OUR FACES EITHER - so BUCK IT UP and TAKE IT just as WELL as u can DISH IT - bc the YOUNGER female generation is getting **SERIOUSLY ANNOYED** at it ALWAYS being on US!!
