STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 27 The Swedish Press Council censured the celebrity magazine Solo G for its negative comments about a woman's breasts.

The council found the magazine guilty of breaching press ethics when it published two pictures of the woman, who was not a celebrity, The Local said Friday. Accompanying the photos was the comment, "beach ball-sized silicone breasts," and the caption, "This big is just not attractive." The woman complained to the council, saying she was humiliated and that her breasts were naturally large.

"The details appear to be speculative and the magazine is to be censured for its neglect of press ethics," the council wrote in its verdict. Because she was not a public figure, the magazine could not claim public interest, the panel said.
