With a name like Chapel Bar & Bistro, one can assume its advertisements would take on a religious motif. What some may interpret as clever allusion, others may interpret as blasphemy.
Chapel Bar & Bistro, located in Ponsonby, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, is celebrating its seventh anniversary. In honor of "seven years of almighty nights," Chapel released an ad depicting "Jesus" and "Mary" in a compromising position.
And apparently this is not the first time they show their idiocy:
Chapel has used religious imagery in its advertisements before. Previous ads showed Jesus and Mary in stained glass with pizza pies as halos and dinner and drinks deals written in scripture scrolls.But those who are asking for liberty of expression, whatever the expression may be, are also awarding the depiction of the Christian's saviour in such a manner:
The shocking ads may be working. Owner Luke Dallow says Chapel has been"creating miracles since 2005," with a string of devoted celebrity and local fans, and various awards to its name, according to Voxy.Those who want liberty to advertise, should be more bold. Put Mohammed in a compromising position, and watch your establishment burn the next day.
Christians are easy targets, and don't have any protection from the government. But hey, some of us are so much into defending others, that we forget to defend our own. We deserve it, in a way.
