Viral PHOTOS: Saudi Arabia Censors Advert

Saudi Arabia has censored an advert featuring a white woman in a swimsuit by Photoshopping a beach ball over her because the photo breaks the country's strict Sharia laws about women covering their skin in public.

A photo circulating on social media shows a man and three children, all wearing black t-shirts, playing in a swimming pool with a Winnie the Pooh beach ball in the corner.

But the original version, made to advertise pools made by US company Intex, shows a woman lounging by the edge of the pool instead of the inflatable ball. 

Everyone in the pool is wearing bathing suits in the unedited version of the photo.

The photo was changed by Saudi hardware retailer Saco, who have edited other ads to publicise their Ramadan sale.
