Sacha Baron Cohen’s nude appearance on the July 2009 issue of GQ Magazine — in character as gay Austrian fashion journalist — has ruffled the feathers of some commuters in airports and train stations across the country.

According to The New York Times’ Media Decoder blog, Hudson News has covered up Bruno’s bare bottom with a black pane on the more than 500 newsstands it operates in order to avoid offending people. Jennifer Aniston’s racy cover shot on the Decemeber issue of GQ — which inspired Sacha’s recent cover — was censored in the same way.
