Seems odd - the Catholic church doesn't seem that bothered about offending other people so I'm not sure why they need protection from being offended by anything themselves.

Benetton used this tactic some years ago and it gave them publicity money could not buy.

Similarly, singles were released that the producers knew would be banned by the BBC thus guaranteeing sales.

It's just cynical marketing.

I think in this case he probably does

Most people in the UK dont even go to church, let alone care about. or get offended by, an advert.

Re: Pregnant nun ice cream advert banned for 'mockery'

Ive said it once and I'll say it again.. What a load of ****

This country is going to shambles and there is an upcry over an Ice-cream advert! 0_o

I had no idea we still had churches In the UK? Where have they been for the last 9 years whilst we have been fighting a war.

Condemning contraception in third world countries where people normally had lots of children because of a high infant mortality rate before we brought medication and basic healthcare to them, leading to a population explosion.
