A scantily-clad model daubed in body paint strikes a pose in a provocative campaign highlighting morals. The show, held at the Wen temple (Confucius temple) in Taiyuan, Shanxi province on May 15, was staged as a publicity stunt to spotlight what organizers say is a growing vulgar culture within society. Most tourists at the site thought the stunt was in bad taste and an affront to traditional Chinese culture and the legacy of Confucius. [Photo/CFP]
