BANGKOK (Reuters) - A promotion for breast enhancing cream that involved three models having a 15 minute mammary
massage in public has caused a furore in Thailand, with family groups saying it violates traditional values and morality.

Despite Bangkok's racy reputation as the "anything goes" sex capital of southeast Asia, most Thais are uncomfortable with
public nudity and all newspaper pictures of the demonstration had the breasts blurred out. "The campaign is just to promote the
product without considering the damage to society," Ladda Thangsupachai of the Cultural Watch Centre told the Nation
newspaper on Friday. "This is taking advantage of society and an irresponsible act."

Executives of St Herb Co., which makes the "breast beautifying" cream, said they laid on the stunt merely to counter
suggestions their advertising claims were exaggerated.

The Nation said Ying, one of the models, was embarrassed at having to bare herself in front of the cameras, but did believe
her breasts had become firmer and the gap between them smaller as a result of the treatment.

My hopes and prayers are with the people of Thailand, that they can overcome this total affront on their integrity and can go back to their peaceful ways as the sex capital of Asia...
