SANITISING SWEDEN'S SHEILAS

No, this isn't about steam-cleaning Stockholm prostitutes, it's about removing sexy photos from newspapers:
Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson has taken a swipe at the Swedish media, accusing it of using images of scantily-clad women to boost sales.

He said the government was examining ways of "sanitising" the media, which could include new legislation.

Mr Persson also warned that Swedish tabloids appeared to be going "in the same direction as those in Britain" - a clear reference to the Sun's trademark "page three", featuring a picture of a bare-breasted woman.
Gee, maybe the Swedes aren't as liberal as I thought.
