Taiwan drops anti-AIDS ad
Reuters reports that Taiwan has withdrawn an anti-AIDS campaign ad featuring a smiling nun holding a condom after it sparked an outcry from Roman Catholics.
The poster, which shows the nun holding the condom with both hands and saying “Although I don’t need one, even I know”, had been removed from all condom machines in Taipei hospitals, subway stations and elsewhere.
Clearly the Catholic Church feels that preventing AIDS from spreading through 23 million people is less important than offending the sensibilities of 300,000.
