Advertising: Bahrain to ban 'sexy' ads

The Gulf Daily News reports adverts across a large area of Bahrain could soon be torn down for being too sexy.

The Central Municipal Council is drafting a law that would allow them to ban advertising that is "too provocative", saying it was equivalent to "pornography".

It is also seeking a clampdown on lingerie shops that display "immoral" skimpy underwear in their windows, which councillors have claimed flouts religious values.

"Street advertisements are getting outrageous," said councillor Sadiq Rabea'a, who co-sponsored the proposal.

"Some are crossing the line with women wearing tight-fitting dresses, dancing around and legalising sexual scenes for our children to witness."
