| The Cranmer blog apparently falls foul of the Advertising Standards Agency May 11th 2012, 22:39 http://www.archbishop-cranmer.blogsp...authority.html Quote:
Apparently there have been a number of complaints about one of the advertisements His Grace carried on behalf of the Coalition for Marriage. He has been sent all manner of official papers, formal documentation and threatening notices which demand answers to sundry questions by a certain deadline. He is instructed by the 'Investigations Executive' of this inquisition to keep all this confidential.
Since His Grace does not dwell in Iran, North Korea, Soviet Russia, Communist China or Nazi Germany, but occupies a place in the cyber-ether suspended somewhere between purgatory and paradise, he is minded to ignore that request. Who do these people think they are?
The advertisement in question is reproduced above. His Grace would like to make it clear to the ASA that he is reproducing this allegedly 'offensive and homophobic' advertisement as an educative illustration of allegedly offensive and homophobic advertising; not as an offensive and homophobic advertisement per se. Naturally, His Grace apologises in advance to all those who find this educative illustration offensive and homophobic, for it is never his intention to be either offensive or homophobic. But those of you who do find it offensive and homophobic are free not to visit His Grace's blog whenever you wish.
| Cranmer runs an ad asking people to sign a petition against gay marriage, and apparently a few people have complained. However both I, the resident liberal atheist in the comments section, and DanJO, the resident gay liberal atheist, support Cranmer on this issue. David | |
