As always, the brilliant Jesus and Mo is spot on.

Yeah! Notably in living in multi-million dollar mansions amongst Hollywood film stars, wearing designer clothes and bling, having a fleet of luxury limousines, flying in a private Lear jet, etc, etc, etc!! You should all Google Benny Hinn/Prosperity Gospel for starters if you don`t know what I am on about – talk about “you couldn`t make it up”!!!

The mention of the eventual death of Mr. Green puts me in mind of the scene from the radio comedy Old Harry’s Game when an American TV evangelist has his encounter with Satan and refuses to believe that he is in Hell as he “Always walked in the ways of Jesus” to which Satan replies “I know Jesus quite well actually…and I don’t think Jesus would want you in Heaven ’cause let’s face it your ways did differ from his in certain key areas”.

Personally, I think the ASA has got it wrong this time. If you ban everything that causes offence to “some readers” then you will end up banning everything because there are always people ready to be offended at anything.

After several recent sensible rulings (e.g. the “Atheist Bus Campaign”), I thought we had finally got past this “if it offends someone, ban it” approach. Sadly, I was mistaken.

Just had this thought –
Stephen Green’s funeral is in full swing when due to a mix-up someone puts on ‘Always Look On the Bright Side of Life’ instead of his favourite hymn.
Imagine the scene as the crowd (yeah, I know, optimistic!) sings out ‘Life’s a piece of birdshit/when you think of it….’

…sorry, the ice cream made me do it!
