A portrait of President George W. Bush (news - web sites)
using monkeys to form his image that was banished from a New York art
show last week amid charges of censorship was projected on a giant
billboard in Manhattan on December 21, 2004. 'Bush Monkeys,' a small
acrylic on canvas by Chris Savido, created the stir last week at the
Chelsea Market public space, leading the market's managers to close
down the 60-piece show. The image is seen on an electronic billboard
near the entrance to New York's Holland Tunnel, December 22. Photo by

Absolutely ridiculous and horrifying act of censorship! It's art... it's freedom of expression! Sigh, anyone outside of the U.S. want to hire an advertising exec?
