Pretty much... Those particular Catholics clearly don't take themselves too seriously, which is a good thing.Ticia wrote:
Want to know something funny? A few months ago the Playboy Portugal magazine published a cover and a spread with these photos:

The national Catholic Church didn't care, the Catholics here didn't give a damn and the only criticism was about how the photos were really trashy looking.
The only one protesting about it was the Playboy Enterprise so they shut down the Portuguese edition for good.
It's not about joking around with religion that's alowed...but mix sex and religion and Anglos loose their common sense.

let's look at a classic example of censorship in the British media - Sinn Féin were banned from speaking in the media even though they were a democratically elected political party up until as recently as the early nineties - thanks to Mrs Thatcher ( the hero of the American Right) & her policy as she saw it, of "denying the oxygen of publicity to terrorists "- what did the media do? they hired actors to read the statements Sinn Féin were making lip synced to the Sinn Féin representatives making the statement, circumventing the Censorship legislation & challenged by the government through the courts - Censorship 0 Media 1
the ASA on the other hand is not "Government" censorship at all, by any stretch of the imagination - rather a an independent body interested in maintaining "Standards" in advertising. nothing is legally forced like the example of Government censorship cited above, but rather "requests" are made by the ASA and generally conformed with.
