Mirabile Dictu
(Which is Latin for:
Holy Cr*p)
Or maybe for “who’d a thunk it?” I’ve been wondering for weeks where these utterly loony protestors at the health care reform town hall meetings are coming from, since they seem too loony to be mere garden-variety Republicans, and too organized to be mere “I’m mad as hell and not going to take it any more” individualists. And now maybe we find out:
'Pregnant nun' ice cream advert banned after Catholic outcry (on eve of Pope's visit)
An ice cream advertisement featuring a pregnant nun has been banned by watchdogs on the eve of the Pope's visit to Britain.
The news may well be welcomed by the Catholic church at a timewhen some of its leadership have expressed alarm over declining morality in the UK.
One leading figure in the church in this country recently described Britain as a 'selfish, hedonistic wasteland'.
A magazine ad for Antonio Federici ice cream showed a heavily pregnant nun standing in a church holding a tub of ice cream in one hand and a spoon in the other.
The text stated: 'Immaculately Conceived ... Ice cream is our religion.'
The Advertising Standards Authority(ASA) received complaints from people who felt it was offensive to Christians, particularly to those who practised Catholicism.
