This advertisement for the Italian ice cream company 'Antonio Federici' from Great Britain was banned in 2010, because of how controversial and offensive this campaign was. This advertisement depicts a pregnant nun eating ice cream with the tag line "Immaculately Conceived". The company claimed it was only using innocent satire, and that the religious aspects were used due to the company's commitment to ice cream. Contrary to what the company thought, the Catholic Church was not pleased in the least bit, and saw it as a mockery to their faith. However, this wasn't the only controversial advertisement from their"Ice Cream is our Religion" campaign banned. The company also had an advertisement featuring a nun and a shirtless preist depicting the preist touching the nun on the leg, with the tagline "submit to temptation".
