Where is the religious (re:Catholic) out rage on this?

[clenz]

As you all remember, the Catholic church got all pissy about a car commercial and had it pulled. Well, since then I have saw the following commercial from Nike many many times and have wondered where the outrage from the Catholic church has been. I thought I would ask here why there has been no outrage over this.


The commercial is this, and the parts I'm refering to starting at the 23 second mark

In case you don't want to watch the commercial, or can't use youtube for whatever reason here are the screen caps I took from my TiVo while I paused it the other day.

The first is a person that got a tatoo of Robinho with angel wings. Clearly they are mocking religion and angels, and defaming what an angel really is by depicting him in such a way.


The next image seems to be depicting Robinho as a Saint. Again, clearly mocking what it is that the church stands for.




Why is this commercial still allowed but the other one isn't?

Catholics are too busy trying to stop teenage girls from getting birth control, and doing damage control on their pedophile leaders.

They managed to take a long enough break from that to through a giant shit storm about a fucking car commercial. Does this commercial still being on the air having anything to do with the fact it is Nike, and they likely have all kinds of pull in keeping things on the air?

Honestly, I have no clue why they aren't shitting their pants about this one, too. I was just doing my best to fill in for D1B while he and Cap'n are gone fishing.

First of all, I didn't have a problem with the car commerical. Are you really having trouble telling the difference between mocking a sacrament and getting a tatoo?

Sleep it off clenzy.

Agreed - seriously, if you can't tell the difference between these two examples then you really should just stay in the shallow end and stay out of the diving end of the pool. It'll be safer.
