A poster depicting Michelangelo's statue of David has been removed from the Glasgow Subway due to nudity.
The poster showed the iconic sculpture eating a slice of pizza to advertise Barolo restaurant in the city, with the restaurant saying they were "surprised" by the response to the advert.
It has now created a new version of the poster that hides the statue from below the waist, the Daily Express reports.

Nadine Carmichael, head of sales and marketing, told the BBC: "We had artwork in place and discussed if we could cover the crotch with a flag.
"We got stickers made and the feedback was that they weren't actually big enough.
"Our next port of call was to show Michelangelo from the waist up. We got there in the end."
DRG said it wanted to use classic Italian art to showcase the restaurant on the transport network. It said the Mona Lisa portrait had also been discussed as a possible candidate.
Michelangelo's 5m (17ft) statue is one of the most famous pieces of Renaissance art and stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, Italy. It was completed between 1501 and 1504 and depicts a naked David, the Biblical figure who kills the giant Goliath.
Global, which manages the advertising space on behalf of the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), has been approached for comment.
