Cradle of Filth shirt banned in NZ
The “Chief Censor” of New Zealand, Bill Hastings, has banned the infamous “Jesus is a Cunt” t-shirt.
It’s illegal to possess it, it’s illegal to deal with it in any way. Sell it, rent it, hire it, give it
Says the American accented Mr Hastings on this 3News video.
The news was greeted with joy by John Mills, president of NZ’s Society for Promotion of Community Standards Inc, (SPCS) – the Kiwi equivalent of Saudi Arabia’s Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
According to Mills, the t-shirt is “grossly objectionable due to its obscene content†and “completely cuntifies the central figure of Christianityâ€Â. I mean “vilifies”.
The ruling states, unjustifiably:
A fair interpretation of the messages conveyed by this T-shirt is that Christians should be vilified for their religious beliefs, and that women, including chaste and celibate women, cannot stop themselves engaging in sexual activity…
Who knew New Zealand had become a theocracy?
Arguable sentiments: But you are not allowed to express them in New Zealand
Point of clarification, this fucktwit censor is not American–he is originally Canadian, although is accent seems more like a cross between Canuck, English, and Kiwi.

‘Virgin Mary’ – I’d give her one.
I think I need to get out more…
Depends which Jesus they’re on about really. Perhaps they are referring to one of their roadies called Jesus who was caught pissing in one of the bands beers or something? Surly that would make him a cunt no?

Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
He can save you from Hell for eternity. Nobody is forcing you to believe in him but when you get to Hell do not start saying you had no idea because I am telling you now, he is REAL, he is a good God and he is better than anything you could possibly dream or imagine.
