Kiss ’n’ sue

The Vatican is threatening some sort of legal action over a photoshopped pic in a Benetton ad of Herr Ratzinger kissing a leading imam.

Bit late now, isn’t it? It’s all over the place, just as Benetton no doubt intended. It’s always been one for the shock value.

Well, Pink Triangle is doing its bit. The picture is on this page and a Pink Paper story can be found here.

The Vatican is clearly upset (tee-hee), with a spokestwat saying the picture “shows a grave lack of respect for the pope, an offence to the feelings of believers”. Aw, diddums!

  1. Perhaps the rat is just upset that the one he is kissing is so old and not a little boy.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
