That is SO INCREDIBLY wrong. I am not surprised it's being banned.

SapphireSphinx9 03-11-2005 04:45 PM

i personally don't see anything wrong about it.

There's nothing wrong with this at all.

because religion and government should be one entity? or governments should favor one religion (Catholicism with this painting) over others (Islam with burkas)?

I see how people are offended by it, but I also don't think it's worthy of being banned.

On a side note, I think it's funny that the article said the creators of the ad were inspired by a Dan Brown book.

I actually think it is kinda of brilliant and also a very calming image.

I see nothing wrong with it

Like Collin, I can see how people would be offended, but I don't think that's justification for it to be banned. My "innermost beliefs" are intruded upon everytime I have to use money that says "In God We Trust" on it, but that doesn't mean I'm trying to get that banned.

At any rate, the banning of their ad will probably bring more attention to them than the ad itself would have, so the company is probably loving this.

If it's offensive to anyone, it would be Da Vinci, not Catholicism. He should sue.

DeltAlum 03-11-2005 07:23 PM

OK, now I'm probably going to Hell -- or at least Greek Hell.

I thought this was a Panhel council meeting.

Just kidding. I don't think it should be banned either.

True...it's actually a solid marketing idea. They were daring and it worked. People are talking about the ad and the company.

OH NO!

You're all anti-French!

Please, please stop it!

Unless you think "oh, they're all anorexic. This is their 'last supper'"
