English metal band, Cradle of Filth, has come out with a shirt that claims 'Jesus is a (expletive deleted)' and depicts a nun masturbating. (swiped from RichardDawkins.net)
A 16-year-old was arrested on Monday for wearing the shirt and was charged with offensive behaviour under the Summary Offences Act 2005 for public nuisance.
I've been informed the expletive removed rhymes with stunt, runt and punt....
Not surprisingly, this is not the first time the shirt has had a run-in with the law.
In 2005, 19-year-old Adam Shepherd was fined £40 and sentenced to 80 hours community for wearing the shirt in England.
In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth bizarrely suggested God was working through the band.
"Defaming organised religion openly in public is now a crime? What is wrong with England? Still, the litter problem on our city streets should improve dramatically if they keep handing out 80-odd hour community punishment orders willy-nilly," he said.
"The country will be spotless in no time, a sure sign that God works in mysterious ways, even through us!"
Am I the only one who got a chuckle out of that one?

I don't like CoF enough to want to wear one of their shirts, but I do have a strong urge to get one of those.
