[QUOTE=RayDark;27210128]Yes, let's avoid religion because we're too much of a pussy to actually fight for our right to free speech.[/QUOTE]
The point is, why bother?
Did this really even make an effective ad?
One person will find it offensive and bitch and at the end of the day, you'll just waste extra time going over absolutely nothing.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;27209958]
if doritos made an ad in a majority muslim country where the muezzin of a mosque calls all his followers to eat doritos, i'd guarantee that we'd see less of a reaction[/QUOTE]
Because if there's one thing third-world Muslim theocracies love, it's Western encroachment on their way of life!
[QUOTE=static829;27209599]AND IT IS. Mocking Catholicism... re-enacting the "Bread of Life" or "Eucharist" at the alter as a bag of Doritos is extremely sacrilegious.[/QUOTE]
Three things:
1. Who
2. The fuck
3. Cares
My parents didn't raise me to be at all religious. They did, however, raise me with a sense of humor.
[QUOTE=static829;27209739]Saying that Doritos should represent the concept of the Last Supper? The bread a Priest places on someone's tongue at the alter (or however they wish to deliver it) is representative of the body of Christ.
You're saying Doritos... lol Doritos representing God isn't a mockery?[/QUOTE]
Well I just happen to believe that God is in fact a giant dorito, so you are in fact insulting my views.
Hahaha I guess they call podcast bloggers 'Syndicated Radio Hosts' now :biggrin:
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27209626]
this. I discovered facepunch is full of angry people who would defend their ego and beliefs to the death.

LOL. you're literally the thing you're bitching about.

[QUOTE=static829;27209672]Neither... more like a sense of respect. Half the people on here speak of personal opinions, and beliefs (mainly Atheism)... but have no respect for others and usually find it easy to throw their own against others... the rest of everyone on here is no different than me... don't attempt to single just ME out like that.[/QUOTE]
You know nothing of facepunch. Yeah, I see a lot of atheists(some idiots, some not) and I see a fair number of ridiculously right wing theistic posters, so what the fuck are you talking about?
Wasn't there like some dante's inferno ad for the superbowl last year?
"Diet Pepsi is Jesus' blood" is the phrase that made my morning.
Oh come on, I'm catholic and I find it pretty funny.
This is stupid

"The blood of Jesus is diet Pepsi"
:cawg:
[QUOTE=Omali;27209493]Really? I wouldn't say tasteless. I found the content of the commercial rather cheesy, to be honest. [/QUOTE]
OHOHOHO! IS FUNNY BECAUSE THEY'RE NACHO CHEESE CHIPS!

In all seriousness, this is just sad. You can't crack jokes about any group these days anymore.
I am a (lapsed) catholic and I don't find this offensive at all.
This was likely the intent of the ad. Not only do they not have to pay for ad space now, they also get tons and tons of viewers. Also, I like how AVGN appears in this ad in person. Seriously, I thought this ad was supposed to show the line for snacks as a good thing, jeez is he pissed off.

Lapsed?
As in your religion is a pink thing sticking out your butthole?
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27205528]I bet you guys would get pissed if this was mocking Atheism, or what ever angsty teenagers like to believe in these days.[/QUOTE]
You can't really mock the lack of belief. Maybe if they said "if u dont belif in god you rape babbies! derp" I would be offended, but you can't compare that to a joke like this.
It's not that offensive. It's actually kind of funny.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;27207778]It was Anti-Catholic, not Anti-Christian.
Also I found the joke tastless[/QUOTE]
They are obviously protestants.

Everyone knows the true way to get people to go to church is doritos anyway.

[QUOTE=Mazakrov;27205539]No, we wouldn't.[/QUOTE]
You just did. :smug:
[QUOTE=bugfix;27214719]What? Where?[/QUOTE]
I used horrendous wording, I meant, using Islam as a scapegoat to justify pulling the ad was gold.
Soooo... Red wine that the catholics use is the blood of christ?

[QUOTE=Lambeth;27207322]How do you mock atheism?[/QUOTE]
Very easily if it's a typical Facepunch atheist.
