Very nsfw if it's the one I'm thinking of! |

Sadly, so much of the US news output could masquerade as an Onion item. |

I suspect this is more to do with circulation. I would dare anyone to hold that image on a banner and walk through say India. Buddhists wouldn't be insulted because of their nature. But I'm willing to bet a few hardcore Hindus would take offence. As for Christians, show that pic in Alabama and see if you're still alive. |

Yes, but the point is not that it doesn't cause offence, but how you choose to react to that feeling of being offended. |

No one who would justify a fatwah is involved. |

Actually, I'm lead to believe that pornography law in this country is so convoluted that it may technically be illegal. If you choose to say that the Hindu deity is a beast, then that's bestiality. Depiction of sexual acts with cartoon animals is illegal in some cases - you just need to convince a judge that someone finds it erotic. |

I think you're possibly quite right. In fact, one of the acts depicted would probably qualify as 'Extreme' pornography, and that would land you in a considerable amount of hot water, apparently. |

It needs to be depicted in an extreme and realistic way. The above image is cartoonish and humorous. It's also saved by the context of appearing in a series of news articles covering satirical news reporting, and not other 'erotic' material. |

This picture is educational, I never knew that Ganesha was a hermaphrodite. |

And exactly what have you against hermaphrodites?  Death to Australia. (actually are you still in Australia?  )
