Pregnant nun ice cream advert banned for ‘mockery’

The city of London has banned an Ice Cream company from using an advert displaying a pregnant nun.

An ice cream company banned from using an advert displaying a pregnant nun has vowed to position similar posters in London in time for the Pope’s visit.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has ordered it to be discontinued, saying it mocked Roman Catholic beliefs.

Antonio Federici’s advert showed a pregnant nun eating ice cream in a church, together with the strap line “immaculately conceived”.

Defending the banned nun advert, Antonio Federici said the idea of “conception” represented the development of their ice cream.

It added that the use of religious imagery represented its strong feeling towards its product.

The firm said it also wished to “comment on and question, using satire and gentle humour, the relevance and hypocrisy of religion and the attitudes of the church to social issues”.

The banned advert was featured in editions of The Lady and Grazia magazines.

The ASA said in its ruling: “We considered the use of a nun pregnant through immaculate conception was likely to be seen as a distortion and mockery of the beliefs of Roman Catholics”.

My comment:

Many Catholic nuns live a miserable life in the cloisters. There are multiple examples of nuns getting pregnant, and skeleton of aborted children buried in secret inside the yards of the institution they serve.

How is it possible for a nun to get pregnant?

Well, they get pregnant in the same way as other women having sex.

The main culprits are young Roman Catholic priests, who are sent to oversee these institutions. Not all of them are gay.

Some of them have been forced by family traditions to join the Vatican priesthood. Many of them burn with passion for the opposite sex, just like their creator God has created them.

The explanation is not more difficult than that.
