Adidas withdraws 'sexual' World Cup shirts after Brazil cries foul

One of the official suppliers to the World Cup,Adidas has agreed to stop selling two raunchy T-shirts after the Brazilian government complained that they would encourage the idea that the country was a destination for sexual tourism.

 One shirt shows a bikini-clad woman with open arms on a sunny Rio de Janeiro beach under the Sugarloaf Mountain with the slogan "Looking to Score."

The other has an "I love Brazil" heart, divided to resembled the buttocks of a woman wearing a thong bikini. Adidas, the world's second-largest sportswear maker, said in a statement on Tuesday that the shirts would be withdrawn, adding that they were from a limited edition that was only on sale in the United States.
