Hair prayer ad judged ‘offensive’
The BBC News website reports that:
“A TV advert for hair stylers featuring eroticised female imagery and an extract from the Lord’s Prayer has been deemed offensive to Christians.
The advert juxtaposed the words ‘thy will be done’ alongside erotic images of women accompanied by predatory text.”
Apparently the Archdeacon of Liverpool and a number of other Christians had written letters of complaint.
Summarizing the ad, the BBC website writes:
“The first advert for the ghd IV hair styling equipment showed a woman wearing lingerie, sitting on the edge of a bed, clasping rosary beads.
As she looks up, the text on the screen reads ‘May my new curls make her feel choked with jealousy’.
The text is replaced with the words ‘ghd IV thy will be done’, then ‘ghd. A new religion for hair’.”
Hmmmm…. I must be a rubbish Christian; I did not find the ad offensive; frankly, it made me a little horny! :)
If you fancy feeling a little offended, or otherwise, the ad can be viewed here. ;)
