San Fran

So Jen made a comment on my last posting about a poster ad in San Francisco that has created a bit of controversy. It was so controversial that it even cause the Miller brewery company to request that its logo be pulled from the ad.

This is the link to the pic if you want to see it (there is nothing “bad” in the pic... just a bunch of men in leather.... just really didn’t want to post it on my page).

Actually Jen thanks, I had not heard of this. If you didn’t want to fallow the link to the pic, well it is an “advertisement [that] portrays Christ and his disciples as half-naked sado-masochists.”

The thing I find most disturbing... is that I had not heard about this. It is not that I hear about everything that is being covered by the news these days... but I keep a pretty good pulse, and I had even seen a passing reference to this. In fact when I went searching for the news article the only reference I found was in none main stream, ok hardcore right winged Christian news sights.

Political correctness is my sneaking suspicion.

Ok... your thoughts?

****update****

I was just struck with a thought... what if this was done to another religion... like Islam?

Protests in the street... leading the news for a week...

Thanks Marina you never let me down. I am surprised you didn't find it on any mainstream news sites, I read about it online from AP.
