Cambodia govt cancels breast advert

The Cambodian government has ordered all television stations to stop broadcasting an advertisement for a breast enlargement pill after complaints that it has a negative effect on children.

Information Minister Lu Lay Sreng says he has received numerous phone calls from Cambodian women complaining about the "sexy graphics" in the ad.

He says it might be allowed to return if its "indecent images" are replaced.

Officials of the cosmetic company could not be reached for comment.
