Downing Street and the mayor of London have condemned the use of a portrait of murderer Myra Hindley in a video shown at a London 2012 event in Beijing.
Marcus Harvey's portrait of Hindley was one of a number of pieces of art seen in the footage filmed in a gallery.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The use of this image is in extremely poor taste and it should not have been used to promote London."
A spokesman for Mr Johnson said: "The mayor is deeply concerned by the realisation that a shot of Myra Hindley was shown in a short video at London House and asked that it not be shown again."
The Liberal Democrats described the decision to include the image in the video as a "regrettable choice".
The party's Olympics spokesman Tom Brake said: "Of all the many masterpieces that could have been used this was the most regrettable and the least inspired choice."
Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe told the BBC she was shocked by the use of the image.
However, Visit London said:
There has never been a complaint made about the video up until this point.
Christ, more professional "offence-takers" in action. Jumped-up cockmunchers to a fucking man.
Did any of these fucking cunts bother to check what was in the cunting video before letting it loose on a fragile world (that couldn't possibly cope without a government busybody telling them that they're not going to die if they see a cunting painting of a woman, for the fucking sake of fucking fuck!?) If they didn't check the video before shipping it out to Beijing, what the fuck does that say about them?
And if they already had the fucking video, which wasn't even specially commissioned for this, what fucking cunting fucking fuck did they spend £2.5 million on?
I'm sad to say that Boris is turning out to be different to Ken, but absolutely no fucking better.
And something I really did not enjoy reading was this:
"However, if any offence has been caused, we will withdraw it from use with immediate effect."
I think it's time to start using this fucking bansturbation craze. I think we should all find something about Boris that offends us and start writing to the Evening Standard to complain and seeing if we can get him banned, piece by piece. And then, I think, we need to start working on Government as a whole. Get the whole fucking business of government banned, piece by piece. And then the EU can take a flying fuck as well.
Fucking, fucking, fucking, FUCKING CUNTS!!!!

Hindley has been in prison a long, long time. She might even be dead by now. I neither know nor care.
I don't think I'd recognise her portrait unless it was labelled.
So what about the Krays? They had a film made about them starring those blokes from that band nobody remembers... Bloody good film though. Funnily enough, I don't recall being offended in the slightest.
Hindley might well be totally evil. You can't catch it by looking at her face though. If that was possible there's be a lot of budding Aleister Crowleys walking around now.
I read some of his books. Failed, once more, to be offended but laughed out loud a few times.
Surely we should by now have university classes on 'how to be correctly offended at almost everything that exists'?
Or perhaps, some people just need a damn good slap.
