Clothing that describes Jesus Christ as a 'cunt' has been seized from an Invercargill store by New Zealand police. Police took away the apparel after being asked to do so by Internal Affairs. The tops will be further examined to decide whether
the owners of theImpuls'd store which sells them would be charged with any criminal offences. The Southland Times outed the store, owned by Warren and Angela Skill after spotting hooded tops with the words Jesus is a cunt emblazoned on the
back. The tops advertise an album for British extreme metal group Cradle of Filth. People have been seen wearing the tops on city streets in the past week, with a 68-year-old visitor to the city saying she was 'horrified' when she saw a man
walking with the offending words emblazoned across his back. In 2008, T-shirts with the same wording were banned by then chief censor Bill Hastings. The ban made any act of possessing, wearing, distributing or selling the T-shirt, or another top
with the same wording and imagery, illegal. Colin Morrison, the pastor of Edendale Presbyterian Church, wrote that he felt sorry for people who needed to express themselves in such a way and he would be praying for them: Also I am sad at the
way they find such language acceptable, just shows how far we have slipped as a caring and loving society.
