In the Museum of Rubens in Antwerp, filmed a funny video that plays on the censorship of nudity on the social network Facebook

In the video, filmed by the Flemish tourism Board, visitors to the Museum of Peter Paul Rubens fit employees in shape with the acronym FBI (Facebook Inspectors — Inspection of social networks) and ask if they have accounts in social networks. If the answer is positive, the visitor "for his own safety" away from the paintings with nudity. The most slow-witted tourists who do not wish to move to "safe" pictures, inspector FBI close my eyes or cover the canvas with the Nude with their bodies.

From-за policy of "Facebook" in respect of Nudes (including world-recognized masterpieces) the accounts of such museums as the Museum of Rubens, suffer especially because the famous artist for the most part preferred to write just Nude. The video to the leadership of the "Facebook" was also accompanied by an open letter to the Flemish Council for tourism and signed a group of Belgian museums. "Unfortunately, we are unable today to promote our unique cultural heritage in the most popular social network", — writes the head of the tourism Board, Peter De Wilde (Peter De Wilde). Mark Zuckerberg jokingly offer to discuss the situation over a pint of Belgian beer, and also draw his attention to the fact that if Rubens were alive today he would have a huge number of followers on "Facebook".
