Barenaked laddies a no-no in the North

Canadian North Airlines has pulled the current issue of Up Here magazine from its seat pockets because of a cover shot of a nude hiker. The August issue shows a cover view of a man, wearing nothing but socks and hiking boots. The main cover line is "Northern hikers are getting naked. Find out why". Canadian North, which serves the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, said it found the cover offensive and not consistent with the airline's values.

Up Here publisher Marion Lavigne has agreed to change the cover photo for the issues distributed on the airline to one of fried fish.

Up Here is published in Yellowknife and has a circulation of about 25,000.
