A European Marithe et Francois Girbaud ad, first seen in Italian fashion magazines, has been banned by a French court. The judge ruled the display was a "gratuitous and aggressive act of intrusion on people's innermost belief" and ordered all posters to be taken down within three days.
While some see this as trampling over people's religious beliefs to sell a product; and others would view this as a form of freedom of expression, I think we can all agree that Italians are cooler than the French.

Hey Allesandra
Regarding our "chaste whore" reference, check out this article and you'll see it's origin:

or do a search on google for the whole phrase. Not that I'm agreeing or disagreeing with you, I just didn't want anyone to think we were taking credit for originating it.
