In Jesus’ name, amen

By Steven | February 5, 2009

Someone complained to the Advertising Standards Authority that a Christmas ad from Bond and Bond was offensive to Christians. The ad said:

CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF JESUS WITH SOME NEW GEAR, IT’S WHAT HE’D WANT

Offensive to Christians? Well… maybe some. But it’s mostly spoofing the brazen commercialisation of Christmas, including by Bond and Bond. Damn my atheist heart, but I think it’s bloody funny. (The ASA quite rightly didn’t uphold the complaint).
