Mocking?
15th September 2010
I
noticed at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11300552 that:
“An ice cream company banned from using an advert displaying a pregnant nun has vowed to position similar posters in London in time for the Pope’s visit.
Antonio Federici’s advert showed a pregnant nun eating ice cream in a church, together with the strap line “immaculately conceived”.
The Advertising Standards Authority has ordered it to be discontinued, saying it mocked Roman Catholic beliefs.”
I have reproduced the image here: is this really offensive?
