TSG's seen some offensive ads before, but this one from Lipton is particularly galling. In a bid to sell onion dip, the company (part of the multinational Unilever firm) produced a print ad showing a Catholic churchgoer preparing to dunk a Holy Communion wafer in a bowl of dip. The ad, running in the current issue of the weekly New York Press, was called "an error in judgment" by a Unilever spokesman--after, of course, readers and church officials blasted it as demeaning.

Not to be inconsiderate or anything, but that's one amusing ad :o)

I think it's comical too, and disturbing at the same time. :)

C'mon people, learn to liven up and laugh a little. I think it's cute, and I heard from several reliable sources that those wafers taste like shit.
