The Vietnam Sports newspaper was fined 12 million dong for "running sex advertisements with contents that violate traditional habits and customs," said its editor.

「越南體育報」因「刊登性愛廣告，內容違反傳統習俗」，被罰一千二百萬越南盾，該報編輯說。

The ads for mobile phone message services used "rude wording" to stir up sexual temptation, he said.

這些以手機簡訊服務發送的廣告，利用「粗鄙字眼」來刺激性誘惑，他說。

More than 10 other newspapers have carried similar ads and are under investigation by the Ministry of Culture and Information, he said.

超過10家其他報紙也刊登過類似廣告，也正遭到文化資訊部的調查，他說。

"It's a lesson for us," he said. "I have asked my staff not to run this kind of ads in the future." Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper was also fined 10 million dong, and last month, two other newspapers, Sports Today and Soccer, were suspended and fined for carrying the same ads, he said.

「這是給我們的一個教訓，」他說。「我已要求我的同仁們，將來不要再刊登這種廣告。」「胡志明市法律報」也被罰一千萬越南盾，上個月另外兩家報紙，「今日體育」與「足球」也因刊登相同廣告而遭暫停出報與罰款，他說。
