My own personal gripe with Panter is that he quiet happily beleives eveything he is told by the media etc when it suits him. He is quiet abusive on the phone and refuses to explain exactly why. WOuldn’t want the truth getting in the way would you Ricky. I also thing he may be releated to a Contable Panter of Merseyside Police who is just as abusive.

23 christians complaining about some ad: Freedom of speech? What freedom of speech?

Out of a population of over 60 million, I’d say they’re not significant enough to justify a ban.

But they probably are offended too.

I liked those ads. so 23 people found it offensive? If 24 people contact to say its inoffensive will the decision be reversed ?

The only reason for the complaints is that the ASA is the only remaining avenue that these people have. No-one else will listen to their nonsense, but the ASA will roll over and this gives them the feeling that they can still control peoples lives in some way. It is all about control. Religion is the excuse.

It’s not offensive to us: it’s offensive to people who hold them sacred. Goths probably offend the Stephen Greens of this world too. That’s the nature of these people and you’ll find it easier to make H from steps fancy girls than you will make these arseholes see sense.

If the ad said ‘Christianity is a load of old lies designed to make you feel better. Buy our shampoo’ I might see their point. If this gothic imagery is only allowed to be used by Christians then I know a few goths who are knackered.

Sounds like a medical complaint caused by inappropriate undergarments!
