Britain's Channel Four television station has come under fire from a leading evangelical Christian after running an advertisement depicting the Last Supper as a drunken brawl.

Peter Kerridge, Chief Executive of Britain's Premier Christian Radio, has made a formal complaint to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over the controversial ad, which is a promotion for the Channel 4 program "Shameless."

Remind me which century we are living in again? :roll:

Complaints like this do nothing for the image of "religion"; they just make our church-going communities look humourless.

Or on the spot fines. Double if bearded and wearing sandals. That gets the computer nerds and the reborn Christians. Might pull in a couple of Sikhs too.

Can't imagine why he hasn't thought of this.
