Michelle Obama's photoshopped topless picture creates furore

A Spanish magazine landed itself in the middle of a racial controversy after digitally altering a French portrait of a slave to include Michelle Obama's face, on the cover of their latest issue.

The August 2012 issue of Magazine Fuera de Serie, a supplement to Spanish newspaper Expansion, features the US First Lady’s face superimposed over an 1800 female slave painting by French artist Marie-Guilhelmine Benoist.

Seated on a chair covered with the American Flag, right breast exposed, and wearing an Aunt Jemima headscarf, the image is part of a feature article examining Obama’s popularity among the American public.
