Divine Imagery

You can find religion and pretty much anything having to do with sex, everywhere.
It was reported from Taiwan that advertisers were forced to pull an anti-aids campaign ad that had a nun as a spokesperson holding a condom. The advert featured the holy roller preaching "Although I don't need one, even I know". Apparently this was plastered all over the walls of various hospitals in the region, as well as in train stations. It was said that the Catholic Church was outraged. Their reason: "nuns take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and the Vatican considers all forms of contraception a sin." Although using a sister of mercy to promote safe sex is somewhat in poor taste, you have to admit, it's totally thought provoking. There are about 23 million people living in Taipei, of those, 300,000 are Catholics. Not only should they be promoting safer sex, they should also seriously address the issue of birth control. Actually, this puts me in the mind of The Simpsons when Marge equated the Vatican with it's opposition to birth control by stating: "no one is going Catholic...three children is enough thank you very much!".
