Impromptu Billboard Porn Film Stops Traffic
Reuters, 15 Jan 2010
An enormous television screen showing a pornographic film caused a midnight traffic jam in central Moscow Thursday as stunned motorists slammed on the brakes to gawk at the writhing naked bodies.
The owner of the advertising screen, which sits atop a main road about two km (1.2 miles) south of the Kremlin, told the state-run RIA news agency that hackers had broken into the screen's computer system and turned on the porn.
"They were either acting out of hooliganism or were from a rival company," Viktor Laptev, commercial director of advertising firm Panno.ru, told RIA.
A short clip showing cars slowing to a halt to look at the screen sprung up on youtube.com and internet sites Friday across Russia, a country which banned nudity on television before the Soviet Union fell in 1991.
Authorities said they are investigating, RIA added.

Interesting that Russia banned nudity. In many other European countries complete frontal nudity is shown on public television.
I've heard that some of the best nude beaches in Europe are in Russia on the Black Sea.

Check your PMs, Teddy - and I suggest you take your heart medicine first.

I work in Russia and they don't have a ban that I am aware of -- or every one is breaking it -- which may well be. :-) As far as stopping traffic, my friends tell me it was the "writhing bodies" more so than the nudity that stopped traffic. They have fairly high resolution screens on Tverskaya.
There were a few Russian you-tube links but they are being deleted them as fast as they are being posted.... apparently the music is quite good and getting most of the Russian blog attention.
