#1 You have insulted my religion, heretic wench!!
For that you will have to ~~die horribly~~ ~~have your throat cut~~ sit through a loooong Power Point(tm) lecture on religious sensitivity! Jesus Ackbar!

Semi-seriously, the Church needs to do ... something. It just isn't the same without the aggressive machinations of the Jesuits, and the dreaded Holy Inqusition(tm) frying the odd heritic.

#2 "I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel. You lousy cork-suckers. You have violated my fargin' rights. This suminonbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens, like me, could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin' ice holes, like yourselves."

We need to put Roman Moronie in the picture files.

#3 From the article: "Another blogger, Marc, praised the artworks shock value. 'Art is supposed to provoke thought and debate...to offend you...'"

Yeah, all the great artists have striven to make your stomach churn.

#4 The images do rather graphically illustrate the differences between the religions. And, are considerably less offensive than the reality.

Not to mention that Jesus was a hard-working carpenter, a true man of the people, unlike that spoilt rich boy, Osama bin Laden. And Jesus' mother walked freely among the people, unlike Osama's multiple female parents.

#5 Having had my religion insulted, I shall now have to follow the commandments of my Teacher and ...

#7 Third rate hacks looking for an easy way to go bigtime. Probably the darlings of the Aussie Art World now...

#8 What, no Piss Christ? These wankers are slipping.

The choice of such artwork is gratuitously offensive to the religious beliefs of many Australians, Australian Prime Minister John Howard told Thursdays Daily Telegraph newspaper.

Too right!
