Silly indeed.

Years ago, I got off the train in Cologne, and was confronted with a 
large, almost life-size, poster showing a full frontal naked female (of 
course, I don't remember what it was advertising, I probably didn't even 
notice that at the time!). This was in the early 2000s. Nobody was 
paying any particular attention, or making a fuss. I think I was the 
only person even slightly taken aback.

Imagine this in a train station in the US!
