The sad part about this story is that the ice cream is probably delicious! Antonio Federici is running an ice cream ad in Great Britain. Regulators have banned it saying that it is offensive to Catholics. (Click the picture to view a larger image) Well, depending on which Catholic you talk to, yeah, it's kinda offensive. I wouldn't threaten to kill anyone over it - that wouldn't be the Christian thing to do, would it?
A lot of Catholics mistake the meaning of "Immaculate Conception!" I should point out that the Immaculate Conception is the belief that Mary, the mother of Christ, was conceived and born FREE of Original Sin. It has nothing to do with her pregnancy.
So before you act like you are offended, it may be a good idea to get your facts straight. It's still a stupid ad.
