Pope will see pregnant nun eating ice cream
Read Time:39 Second
An ice cream company banned from using an ad displaying a pregnant nun has vowed to position similar posters in London in time for the Pope’s visit. Antonio Federici’s ad showed a pregnant nun eating ice cream in a church, together with the strap line “immaculately conceived”.
The Advertising Standards Authority has ordered it to be discontinued, saying it mocked Roman Catholic beliefs.
Antonio Federici says it will now put up new posters near Westminster Abbey.
Pope Benedict XVI will visit Westminster Abbey on Friday, before holding Mass at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday.
Antonio Federici, a UK-based company, has yet to reveal what image will be portrayed in the new advert, saying only that it would be “a continuation of the theme”.

It will cost the British taxpayer £20 million for security for the old fart. Disgraceful.
As my daughter is currently on a romantic 5 day break with her boyfriend in Rome I texted her to go see the old goat and ask him to just send a postcard instead.
Although she got to see the Vatican City, despite insisting Four Dinners had given permission, the old git wouldn’t listen.
Hope someone shoots him before he gets here. £20 million on the health service ’cause the Pope’s dead…do for me!

I don’t see the problem 🙂
I’m neither catholic nor religious but this is just not right. Maybe they’d have better luck puting an ad in the National Lampoon.
