Two Vietnamese newspapers have been fined for running phone sex advertisements that violate the country's traditional cultural values, an official said.

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.
