SHANGHAI, November 6 (Xinhuanet) -- An alternative, avant-garde body painting show was being hotly pursued by Shanghai advertising businesses. However, the Shanghai Industry Commerce Bureau was quick to issue notices clearly prohibiting such shows, and any units or individuals from using human body painting performances in public places for advertising purposes.

A Shanghai Industry and Commerce Bureau official stated that presently, it is prohibited for units or individuals in the business sector to use body painting performances in the media and in various forms of advertising in public places. Also prohibited is the publication of nude or semi-nude bikini images painted onto the human body as a medium of advertising. Body painting images cannot be displayed in outdoor advertising, in print advertising, or on shop billboards, and the Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Bureau will not accept or register them. Where such advertising has already been registered, the license will be withdrawn and the perpetrator will be notified to stop publication of the advertising.

It is evident that some are exploiting body painting in Shanghai's commercial activities as a gimmick, calling it "performing art". In the blind pursuit of sensationalism and crass commercialism, the body art becomes "soured", and edges towards pornography. In the future, advertising of Shanghai's business sector-its outdoor advertising, print media, and billboards-will undergo more rigorous inspection. Once the body painting on the advertisement is discovered, it will be stopped by the Bureau. (End)

新华网上海11月6日专电（俞丽虹 龚尚轩）前卫、另类的人体彩绘表演一度成为申城部分商家的追求热点，但上海工商部门日前发布通告，明确禁止任何单位和个人发布在公共聚集场所进行人体彩绘表演活动的广告。

上海市工商局有关负责人表示，目前，工商部门已明确禁止任何单位和个人，通过各种媒介和形式发布广告，介绍在公共聚集场所进行的人体彩绘表演活动；禁止发布以裸体、半裸体、三点着装等形式的人体为媒介的人体彩绘广告。同时，对含有违禁人体彩绘内容的户外广告、印刷品广告、店堂匾额广告的登记申请，上海工商部门将不予以受理和登记；对已经受理和登记的广告，工商部门将予以撤消，并通知申请人停止继续发布相关广告。

据了解，当前一些城市的商业活动以“人体彩绘”为噱头，进行粗制滥造的所谓“艺术表演”。由于组织者一味追求轰动效应和商业利益，导致人体艺术逐渐变味，甚至滑向色情边缘。近期，上海工商部门还将对全市的户外广告、印刷品广告、店堂匾额广告及店堂内广告进行专项检查。一旦发现有人体彩绘广告，工商部门将予以制止。（完）
