“Een enthousiaste Jezus prees dit voorjaar smartphones aan voor de Britse telecomketen Phones4U. ‘Respectloos’, oordeelt de reclame-waakhond nu.”
“De Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ontving 98 klachten over de advertentie. Het bedrijf wilde naar eigen zeggen een ‘lichtvoetig, positief en hedendaags beeld van het christendom’ geven.” (via IKON)
“A court in the Kaluga Region of Russia has ruled that a painting of Jesus Christ with the head of Mickey Mouse is offensive and banned it from being exhibited. The courts called the work “extremist,” and ruled that it was “religiously offensive” under Article 282.”
“Savko told Huffpost Arts that his intention with the piece was not to incite hatred, saying:”THE PUPROSE OF THIS PAINTING IS NOT ABUSE OF CHRIST AND NOT ABUSE OF CHRISTIANS. THIS IS DISPLAYING OF CURRENT REALITY: THE SUBSTITUTION OF HUMAN SPIRITUAL, MORAL VALUES WITH MASS-CULTURAL VALUES.
