In the Moldovan captial, Chisinau, authorities have ordered billboards using the image of a woman's legs to advertising pantyhose to be removed.

Authorities in the Moldovan capital Chisinau have banned women’s legs from outdoor advertising and ordered billboards advertising pantyhose to be removed from the city streets, the Regions.ru Web site reported.

Acting mayor Vasily Ursu said earlier that showing women’s legs on billboards was contrary to the standards of ethics and advised designers to look for a more creative solution than just capturing bare legs.

Ursu, however, said: “If you show me similar billboards in other cities, I may let them be used again.” However, currently all the advertising of local hosiery firm Ponti is being removed from the city’s streets.

Ursu also ordered the removal of adverts showing large bottles of vodka.
