Here is the Condom ad that got pulled in 1995. It was a health and safety ad from the British Safety Council that features Pope John Paul II in a hard hat under the motto ' The 11th commandment - always wear a condom'. This ad illustrates pretty well how tricky the job of vetting can be. The ASA's adjudication acknowledged the educational good intent in the advert but upheld that it was deeply offensive to Catholics, particularly in view of the unauthorised use of an image of his Holiness and that church's ethical stance on the prohibition of contraception.

Interesting! Very interesting.

Here's a rough translation.

For them to try to say that these are a new species that came before Homo sapiens is total B.S. Human's didn't come to the new world until about 11,000 years ago!

I believe I also saw that TV show, and if it was the same one, they also talked about the "Starchild"

And they have that cool soft spot thing, too. We call it "the reset button", because they stop crying when you press it.

OMG I snarked sweet tea out my nose reading that.... dammit...

Heh. Just don't mention "the reset button" to people when there are mothers around. Once, in a quiet restaurant, there was an explosion of babyScream, to which a friend commented the obvious, "Children are much quieter under water."

Because of the looks, we didn't stick around too long.

Well, in that case... here are two of my favorites:

"The doctor explained that her insides were a rocky place, where my seed could find no purchase."

-and-

"Now you take that diaper off your head and you put it back on your sister!"
