Comic Fern Brady’s poster banned for upsetting Christians

A poster depicting the comedian Fern Brady as the Virgin Mary squirting breast milk into the mouth of a kneeling man dressed in ecclesiastical clothing has been banned over fears it could offend Christians.
The decision by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has been likened by critics to an attempt to reintroduce blasphemy laws in the UK.
The West Lothian-born broadcaster and author is touring her stand-up show I Gave You Milk to Drink at venues in the UK and Iceland.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
