of nude art clothed in protest

Nude art clothed in protest: CHINESE Internet users angered by censorship in cyberspace have dressed up images of famous renaissance nudes in a protest against Beijing's crackdown on 'vulgar' online content.
Images posted as part of the protest include Michelangelo's statue 'David' shown in a Mao suit while black socks and a strategically placed necktie were added to the artist's depiction of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The protest began last week after a user of the social networking site Douban.com complained that images of several paintings, including Titian's nude 'Venus of Urbino', had been deleted from an online photo album.

According to blogs on the site, Douban's administrators had told the user that posting pornography would endanger the site's operations.
