Pornographic art portraying Jesus provokes outrage

From here:

An exhibit at a Colorado art gallery is stirring up outrage from critics who say it depicts Jesus Christ in a sexual act.

Enrique Chagoya’s “The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals,” created in 2003, is a multipanel piece in which “cultural and religious icons are presented with humor and placed in contradictory, unexpected and sometimes controversial contexts,” the artist’s publisher, Shark’s Ink, said on its website.

The lithograph, on display since Sept. 11 at the tax-funded Loveland Museum Gallery in Loveland, Colo., is part of an 82-print exhibit by 10 artists who have worked with Colorado printer Bud Shark. It includes several images of Jesus, including one in which he appears to be receiving oral sex from a man as the word “orgasm” appears beside Jesus’ head.

Amidst worldwide Christian rioting, hundreds have been killed, taxpayers in Colorado have taken tax inspectors hostage in a local mosque – sorry, cultural centre – President Obama has called the exhibit “un-American”, media are refusing to publish photos for fears of reprisals and imams in notorious Islamo-fascist theocracies say they can’t understand what all the fuss is about.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is calling for dialogue with the artist.
