Soap is sinful
Topshop in Singapore has been forced to withdraw (via) a range of cosmetics after complaints from local Roman Catholics.
Catholics objected to the marketing for Lookin’ Good for Jesus which they said was disrespectful, full of sexual innuendo and trivialised Christianity. Grace Ong, an offended accountant, was happy to explain to a local newspaper why she was offended: “Why would anyone use religious figures to promote vanity products? It’s very disrespectful and distasteful.”
There are three Topshop outlets in Singapore. It doesn’t appear to have occured to Ms Ong that she could have shopped somewhere else.
