On June 10, 2004 the BBC News reported, "Customs officials and police and customs in Sri Lanka have been told to seize Buddha Bar music and bikinis with Buddha images, officials say. The music - which originates from a nightclub in Paris - and the swimwear have been deemed by the authorities as potentially offensive to Buddhists. Some Buddhists have called for a strict enforcement of laws that stop the commercial use of religious symbols."
