"It is simply about every individual’s right to signal when they think a line has been crossed."

Was this right established before or after the right of freedom of speech?

If it's offensive, turn off the goddamn tv, or don't buy the product or, even better, inform everyone you know of the advert and get them to boycott the product as well - we live in a free market, free speech kinda place; adapt to it.
And I was going to go with the FSM line, before it had already been taken.

PS. The advert sucked. It didn't offend my religion or my sensibilities. It offended my brain's capacity to enjoy watching the gaps between television programmes that I want to watch.

This world is mad, Its an advert! If people take everything so seriously then dont watch Telly. Im sure that in one day you would be offended many times!

Danny, leeds,

Now that this precedent has been established, I intend to start a campaign to ban any advertising of pasta products and bolognese sauce on the grounds that they are offensive to my belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I saw a television advert for Ragu sauce last night, and, "I felt very uncomfortable about it. It was targeting the Flying Spaghetti Monster and I felt it was taking the mick. This is not about censorship or being prudish. It is simply about every Pastafarian's right to signal when they think a line has been crossed."
