German paper gets all classy, moves topless pics to page 3

Iconic German daily newspaper Bild has decided to move its topless Fräuleins from page one to page three, in deference to women being people and all that. \"It is perhaps a small step from a female perspective, but for Bild and all men in Germany, it is a big step,\" Bild announced.

The newspaper had featured over 5,000 glassy-eyed, bare-chested women staring out from their front page daily for 24 years. The new, less-demeaning format was decided on Inteational Women's Day, and Bild further honored their lady staffers by giving them the day off. (Probably so they wouldn't have to hear the grumblings from male staffers.)
