I'd never heard of before coming across this story about an ad for her album being deemed offensive to .

It received 4 complaints, which was enough for the .

Four complaints? How hard is it to get 4 people to complain about anything?

The ADA claim it links "sexuality to the crucifix and crucifixion," which is a blatant visual representation of torture and death. So sex bad, but torture good?

Has something by been banned?

Yes, but it wasn't a song, nor an album, nor music, nor a tour, nor sales; and it wasn't by a religious group or by a broadcaster.

It was 1 advertising poster, put up in 6 places only in for 4 days months ago, back in August 2022.

The ban was by the U.K.'s which wasn't fooled by "fvck".

The artwork and the album, which was released last year just before the advert, were unaffected.

I thought they'd stopped adverts for hard liquor from TV in the UK, no? Just saw an advert for Smirnoff vodka on ITV, about 8pm in the half time break in a world cup game.
