"Biggest Ass in School" competition

Sao Paulo - Officials in Brazil's biggest city took legal action to ban a contest to find the schoolboy or girl with the biggest bum.

A court in Sao Paulo declared the "Biggest Ass in School" competition, promoted by Mix Radio in schools across the city, illegal.

The radio station had invited pupils to take pictures of their classmates' - and even teachers' - backsides, reports Terras Noticias Populares.

The pictures were to be sent in to the station with a cash prize going to the sender of the picture of the biggest bum.

But a judge banned the competition - and threatened to take Mix Radio off the air if it did not stop broadcasting ads for it.

A spokesperson for the Sao Paulo justice department said: "This contest is offensive and violent, we can't tolerate it."
