Question

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20080828/tod-uk-italy-frog-fdde6d8.html

It's p*ssed the Pope right off....

Answer 1

As a Wiccan I laugh and then feel sorry for my Christian parents.  

Answer 2

No, to me it looks like they have killed the evolution theory

Answer 3

It doesn't offend me. It's just some goofy artist's idea of humor or something like that.

Answer 4

Ha, that's awesome!

As a lot of Christians get offended at the drop of a hat, I'm sure this will definitely offend some of them.

In a land of free speech, you do not have the right to censor everything you find offensive, and after all it's only a piece of art - I'd love to see the Christians riot in the street like the Muslims!

I'd rather not see every religious TV show, hear every Religious bigoted lie, and read every religiously inspired  hate filled book so I stay away from churches and I don't watch them or read them.

It works both ways.

Answer 5

no,it's a green frog on a cross.do people take things too seriously? the Life of Brian might be blasphemy but it doesn't offend me either,in fact i love it.

Answer 6

i am a christian

and no!

however i had to change clothes before i answered

i literaly pi$$ed myself laughing

growing up i always heard"if he didnt love us he could have hopped of the cross!" now it looks like he hopped on to it!

wow

i knwo im gonna get alot of flac for this answer though!

Answer 7

Frankly I get more ticked off as a conservationist and animal lover.

People and the ways they seek to demean the Sacrifice of Christ are boring!

Answer 8

Well i'm an atheist,

but nonetheless it probably wouldn't offend me if I was still with Christianity.

Though, it's a question based on opinion.

Answer 9

as a Christian no..if it was a real frog though i'd be offended b/c of the cruelty inflicted on the frog..i dislike obviously blasphemous things, but how can Christians solely claim the cross as a symbol for them? i mean gandhi was shot but does that make any symbol of a gun blasphemous to gandhi?? the artwork is pretty bizarre though, i have to say!

Answer 10

There's nothing like pissing off the Pope to get an artist some fame!

Answer 11

Anything that would p**s off both PETA and the Pope has to be cool.

Answer 12

I thought it was quite funny, but I'm not Christian any more. I probably would have blown a gasket if I had seen it when I was still a Fundy.

Hey, if you like these kind of art pieces, you might like this one too. It gives me a good giggle. :)

Answer 13

I'm amazed that anyone would call that a work of art.  That is pre adolescent.  The Catholic church gets offended at a lot of things.  Like the Da Vinci Code.  Dan Brown wouldn't have sold near as many books if the church hadn't come out so strong against it.  Whenever they object adamantly to something, people flock to it in droves.

Answer 14

It doesn't offend me, it just looks silly.

Answer 15

Yes , It makes a mockery out of the most unselfish act of all history. Christ willingly went to the cross to pay for the sins of all mankind.

John 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  

Answer 16

yes definately!

thats horrible!

Answer 17

I lol'd, but then felt dirty afterwards.

--Sameri (Atheist)

Answer 18

I have nothing against frogs, so I do find this a bit disturbing.

Answer 19

I am offended as a lover of frogs.

As for the Jesus thing... whatever... lots of people have been crucified.

The pope needs a hobby.

Answer 20

No, and anything that p*sses off the pope, must have some redeeming value.

Answer 21

   Any  Christian  would be offended,

  that  is anti-christisem.

Answer 22

Christ - They've Crucified Kermit...

The Muppet's will never be the same, unless he can find someway to rise from the dead over the next three days!

Who betrayed Kermit, was it Gonzo???

Answer 23

I don't call that art, really, but I guess it's not as bad as the rosary in a bottle of p**s that showed up several years ago.

Answer 24

As a Christain for over 38 yrs, There is nothing that offends me, you see, in 38 yrs, I have seen them all. I am not easily offended

Answer 25

I am not a christian, however I believe this(art work) is made to directly disrespect the Christian faith and Jesus Christ.

Answer 26

I WANT ONE!!!!

seriously... I have a small pewter frog on my guitar strap. This would be great for my bedroom! Hahaha

Answer 27

Yes. Taxpayers have paid for a other ungodly offensive "art" like a cross in a jar of urine or up somebody's r****m. That is not art.

Answer 28

As a Ranaist, I am appalled!

Answer 29

Quite frankly if it annoyed a homphobic, mysoginistic former member of the hitler youth to that extent then I would say it's an exellent piece of art.

Answer 30

It is exceedingly childish.   (At best 12 or 13 year old level)

But I would have to be equally juvenile to let such trivia offend me.

Answer 31

It doesn't offend me as a Christian, the only way that I'm offended is that this and similar rubbish is considered to be art.
