A giant dominatrix teddy bear wearing a leather mask and brandishing handcuffs has been banned from sober Zurich's street display of man-sized model bears, the project's artistic director said today.

While tourists pose for snaps next to a brightly-painted and benign array of models such as the schoolteacher bear and the skier bear, Baervers - a pun on the German for perverse - has been deemed too steamy for the financial capital's streets.

"This bear is perverse, dominatrix and hardcore. We had to ban it because of the children," Beat Seeberger-Quin, the project's art director, told Reuters.

The offending bear, which sports bright red lipstick, a corset and thigh-length leather boots, stands atop a pedestal bearing the words "first class service."

Some 600 teddies, variously decorated by artists, stud the streets of Zurich and its airport in the Teddy-Summer project.
