It's an edgy add for sure. People have the right to not "buy" a product if they have a problem with the way the company advertises. Aside from that unless your big on censorship you need to get over it. No one looks at that add and believes for one second the nuns are "real" nuns. I know lots of Catholics who would laugh at that.

The cool thing about this ad is the multi-faceted message. If people WANT to be offended, they can make it offensive. I think it's a good ad. I think it draws attention and gets the consumer to think.

My issue with this ad is that any Christian who does complain will be labeled ridiculous or worse.

If that were all muslim women it would be a different thing altogether. Not only would the muslims be up in arms, but so would the cause heads.

I guess I am just sick of the double standard in society. It is ok to offend one group, but not others.

The ad does not offend me personally, who doesn't love a sexy nun... but I can see where an old school Catholic could be offended...

The purpose of the poster is advertising alone. But if we speak of morality, the poster is a disgraceful for Christian community. It attacked the sensibility of the people

Right but unlike the Radical Muslim community who is easily offended by this type of thing,there will be no call to arms in the Christian community.

This ad alone is advertising purposes. It is not meant to attack religion or belief of the people. Advertising stands for creativity and this poster suggest so
