Cinema ad banned; church sues

[robvalue]

I'm surprised to see the Daily Mail reporting people being outraged by this "ban", which is not a ban as Quantum has pointed out. It says even David Cameron has got involved and seems to be backing the church. It's a bit of a dumb newspaper so I wouldn't take this all as fact yet.

This is full on retarded, if true. They expect cinemas to have to show anything anyone brings to them without discretion? Fuck off. They are not propaganda platforms. I though people would have more sense. Every fucking town in England has at least one Christian church, usually several. No one needs telling what Christianity is.

I wonder if the church were prepared to pay the going rate for such an advert? I doubt it.

This is a small issue, but worth fighting I think. It's stuff like this that acts as precedent and allows (more) elements of theocracy to creep back in.
