A portrait of US President George W Bush using monkeys to form his image was projected on a giant billboard in Manhattan after it was banished from a New York art show last week amid charges of censorship.
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.
Animal Magazine, a quarterly arts publication that had organized the month-long show, said anonymous donors had paid for the picture to be posted yesterday on a giant digital billboard over the entrance to the Holland Tunnel, used by thousands of people commuting between Manhattan and New Jersey.
The original picture will be auctioned on eBay, with part of the proceeds donated to parents of US soldiers wishing to supply their sons and daughters with body armor in Iraq.
US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld came under fire from soldiers in Kuwait earlier this month who complained that they had to use scrap metal to armor their vehicles.
IT'S JUST FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, THAT'S ALL.
DON'T BE SCARED OF IT!!
