Meanwhile of course all of the usual self righteous right wing double-minded Christians promote this unspeakably vile sado-masochistic snuff/splatter film in which the "hero" is systematically, and even "lovingly" beaten to death, as a great missionary tool.

Scroll down for all the gory details.

What agendas, real or imagined, are in play here?

Is it us, the marketers, Foxtel, Wendy Francis, ACL or the guy in the billboard photo who are trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's rear?

>>Christian organisations (including ACL) routinely get out and fight for people on the streets doing it tough.<<

Where? When? I see a lot of Christian organisations out there doing God's work - organisations like the Salvos and the Vinnies - but all I ever see the ACL doing is whingeing. There's nothing wrong with that - they're entitled to their opinions and not the only lobby group doing the same thing - but it's not all that helpful to the sort of people that other Christian organisations care for.

Thankyou to the Australian Christian Lobby.

The Foxtel billboard was inappropriate and distasteful. As an Australian citizen, I am very proud that the Australian Christian Lobby was able to get it removed to help protect the innocence of our country.

The advertising industry needs to take action earlier, so that advertisments like these are stopped before they go public

We take serious interest in offensive advertisements because they are an indicator of how society is shaping up. Is this really what people want to see, or are they so disengaged not to care? Either way is a concern. Sensationalism is increasingly on the rise, to create an acceptability of what is abhorrent. We the true believers will not fall for that. Keep up the good work ACL, for our nation's sake.

I checked out the billboard and I honestly do not believe that any innocent child would have had the vaguest idea what it was inferring. A man standing behind a pig would appear just that to a child.
In any case, the author never even attempted to explain what is so wrong with bestiality. If the billboard had portrayed the man eating the pig, there would have been no complaint. If one can kill and eat an animal then what on earth is wrong with having sex with it?
