Crazy Art Cover-Up

It's amazing what will hit the news nowdays. Today's headlines featured a move made by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to help his image. A huge painting used as the backdrop for many press conferences featured a scantly clad woman with more exposure than the press would like to cover. While this is common in Italian art, this offending painting was deemed to be going a bit too far for cameras. They painted a garment over the offending parts to better cover the painting. THe Prime Minister took a great deal of heat for this alleged defacement of fine art. It's apparently a big enough deal to attract worldwide attention.
