Another one of those controversial banned adverts. This time is from Italy. Interestingly, this hot print ad is from Gelato Italiano ice-cream. It supposed to portray the "forbidden Italian temptations".The banned adverts played on the theme of giving into temptation, but stopped short of showing the nun and priest kissing. This naughty advert appeared only in two magazines, but received many complaints that the suggestion of a kiss between a priest and a nun was offensive.
The publishers told Advertising Standards Authority that they felt the banned advert was unlikely to offend their readers. It was intended as a "light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek portrayal".
