There was much controversy and dispute over this banner on our streets.
What do you guys think?
Is it something that you find immoral or offensive for public display?

I hate it. Its just another symptom of out-of-control consumerism and the marketing that goes along with it. People are dumb enought to fall for it and what is worse about it is not that there is a sexual component to the propaganda, but that people accept it and hede its advice.

I like it. Best advertisement I've seen in a long time.

Na upit novinara je li policija što poduzela u vezi s pozivima uznemirenih građana, Davor Tor, policijski službenik iz Odjela za odnose s javnošću, rekao je: Nismo poduzeli ništa. Prema mom mišljenju, ta je fotografija lijepa.

:rofl:

:hump:

I like the advertisement, but I wouldn't want it in the streets.

I think we should hang the authors and place them instead of banners for public.

I don't have nothing against this banner. Are we now going to ban everything that doesn't go with our puritan conviction? We aren't frickin muslims for gods sake... :rolleyes:

You shall be punished by Jehowa for wishing evil to other people.

So is this why you have abandoned Catholicism? You joined Jehovah?
Sleep well, you have a lot of doors to knock at tomorrow. :p

To find it in certain types of magazines, it would be OK. But in the street - it is tasteless. Even more because such banners are becoming "trendy".

Correct. I mean what if you have a 5 year old child walking with you down the street and they ask what is that? What do you say? Maybe in a men's magazine about fitness or cars its fine, but not for everyone.

How simplified. :rolleyes:

Only WASPs amongst Christians use Judaic version of God's name (YHWH), while Catholics mention it only related to Old Testament, describing the God of the Israelites (a non-Christian God).

Catholic god is Deus/Theos (akin to Zeus), also called by other folk-names (Gott, Bog, God ect...)

...as Nietzsche said "god is dead". :D

His 'philosophy' is convenient only for social-darvinists, revolutionaries and other radicals opposed to traditional virtues.
