Focus groups say Canada's coming new plastic $20 bill has images of a naked woman and New York's World Trade Center towers, CTV News reported.


Canada`s new plastic $20 bill



The bill was introduced by the Bank of Canada last week in Ottawa after weeks of scrutiny by focus groups conducted by the Strategic Counsel across the country, the report said.

Under freedom of information requests, the broadcaster said several people reported seeing at least one naked character in the bill.

"It's too pornographic," a participant in Toronto said. "What is the woman on the top holding?"

Another said, "The naked women are going to offend someone."

Another image shows the World War I Vimy Memorial in France that honors thousands of Canadians who fought and died in the battle that helped turn the tide of the war.

However, many of the focus group participants said they knew nothing about the battle and said it looked more modern.

"I wonder if the monument here could conjure up memories of 9/11 or the Twin Towers," one Toronto participant said.

Numerous others also reported seeing a similarity to the World Trade Center before it was destroyed in a terror attack Sept. 11, 2001.

There was no indication the bill's design would be altered before its November release. (UPI)

 


새 지폐에 여자의 나체가?


캐나다에서 새로 발행된 20달러 지폐에 삽입된 그림 중 여성이 보인다는 주장이 제기되었다.

UPI통신이 8일(현지시간) 보도한 바에 따르면 지난주 오타와에서 캐나다은행이 소개한 플라스틱 재질의 새로운 지폐에 문제의 그림이 있다고 현지 포커스 그룹이 지적했다.

포커스 그룹 참가자들은 “너무 외설적이다,” “여성의 나신이 누군가에게 모욕감을 줄 수 있다”고 지적했다.

지폐에 있는 그림 중 프랑스에 있는 1차 세계대전 추모관 역시 도마에 올랐다.

당시 전쟁에 대한 지식이 없는 참가자들은 이 구조물이 지난 2001년 테러로 무너진 뉴욕 세계무역센터 건물을 연상시킨다고 말했다. (코리아헤럴드)
