Nov 25: The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
Marketing — By Samer Marzouq on November 18, 2008 at 2:40 amOn the occasion of The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the 25th of November, the Telefono Donna rape helpline of Italy circulated this controversial poster in Milan to encourage more rape victims to break their silence. According to the poster, only 4% of women who suffer sexual violence report their assailants. Many politicians in Italy found the poster offensive and inappropriate, and demanded an immediate withdrawal. You can read more on the telegraph.
The tagline reads: “Who Pays For Man’s Sins?”

How will a poster with frontal nudity help rape victims? Even worse, how does it represent? What’s the message being delivered here? Portraying a woman in the shape of Jesus as he pays for “man’s” sins with a naked woman means what exactly?
I think religiously it’s inappropriate, socially, it’s rated R so underage rape is not welcome? OR what?
Too much, with hardly any message in my humble opinion
