A good rule of thumb when you're trying to figure out if your ice-cream ad is blasphemous: If it could be mistaken for the cover of a fetishistic, nun-themed adult movie, you've crossed a line. The Food Section was kind enough to alert us to this U.K. ice-cream campaign from Antonio Federici Gelato Italiano. The Advertising Standards Authority is investigating a tamer version of the ad, where the nun and priest have more clothes on—though the ad above is featured (along with some others) on the Federici Web site.
