Topless sledging nipped in bud
Stuffy Town Hall officials have vowed to nip a saucy sledge race in the bud - because all the contestants are topless.
The first topless tournament is due to take place in Oberwiesenthal, Germany, next month.
But local councillors are trying to ban the event because they think it would take the town's reputation downhill.
Mayor Mirko Ernst said: "No one has anything against the traditional annual sledging events. But the vast majority of residents oppose the topless sledging idea. The good reputation of our town would suffer."
But organiser Jochen Noeske claimed: "I want our tournament to be a mega festival of boobs. I hope they don't ban us but if they do we'll take the competition over the border to the Czech Republic where they are not so stuffy."
