I bet these Jeans get banned in the U.S.
12-30-2005 'Devilish' Jeans a Hot Seller in Sweden
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Cheap Monday jeans are a hot commodity among young Swedes thanks to their trendy tight fit and low price, even if a few buyers are turned off by the logo: a skull with a cross turned upside down on its forehead.
"It is an active statement against Christianity," Atldax told The Associated Press. "I'm not a Satanist myself, but I have a great dislike for organized religion."
The label's makers say it's more of a joke, but Atldax insists his graphic designs have a purpose beyond selling denim: to make young people question Christianity, a "force of evil" that he blames for sparking wars throughout history.
"One cannot just keep quiet about this," said the Rev. Karl-Erik Nylund, vicar of St. Mary Magdalene Church in Stockholm. "This is a deliberate provocation (against Christians) and I object to that."
Nylund complained that Swedish companies do not treat Christianity with the same respect in marketing that they afford other religions.
"No one wants to provoke Jews or Muslims, but it's totally OK to provoke Christians," he said.
Cheap Mondays have started to sell abroad. The jeans are being shipped to Norway, Denmark, Britain, the Netherlands, France and Australia. Andersson said they're working on introducing them in the United States and elsewhere.

How do we get our Government back from the Church???
8-14-2005 Thousands Fill Church for 'Justice Sunday'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Thousands of people filled a church Sunday night for Justice Sunday for supporting justices who don't have radical liberal agendas.
"We've seen a conservative president get re-elected, the conservative Congressional base expand. The (Supreme) Court is part of a cultural problem," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, the organization responsible for "Justice Sunday II: God Save the United States and this Honorable Court!"
The second in a series of demonstrations televised for broadcast at churches across the country included in its list of planned speakers U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson and conservative Christian activist Phyllis Schlafly.
Perkins said the rally was intended to help educate evangelical Christians about the Supreme Court and to encourage them to talk to friends and elected officials about what they want for the Court.
Mike Miller, 54, of Gallatin who attended the rally, said he believes Supreme Court justices try to create laws with their rulings instead of interpreting the Constitution.
"Activist justices ? we're trying to find out what we can do to stop that activity," he said. "Our laws are based on the Ten Commandments."
U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, speaks during the 'Justice Sunday II' broadcast in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Aug. 14, 2005. The program was designed by the Family Research Council to educate voters on how the courts affect the every day lives of Americans.
Well the Republican and Religious brainwashing has made it down the the next generation.
The Country is ultimately destined down the same fate as the last years under the Bush Regime.
It will only get worse and continue downward from here:
7-31-2005 US 13-year-olds are fairly conservative - It might surprise their parents, but in the age of graphic lyrics and violent video games, American children entering their teens remain very cautious about sex and dating and still trust their parents and church.
63 percent consider their religious faith at least somewhat important in their lives.
Time magazine reports that sixty percent of the 500 surveyed by the magazine are against sex before marriage, and 63 percent believe they are too young to date at their age.
This deserves it's own thread and it should be the next movement in this Country to knock the piss down of the escalting tactics and braziness.
Not saying, Hate or calling for Ban, just for the Religion to be put back in where it belongs, in the Church and stay there.
Edit: Wow, The word Anti and Christian really ruffles feathers eh?
Try reading, I said "Not calling for a Ban or Hate, just should be put back where belongs, in Church".
No one suggested what would be more "acceptable" wording, just attack and not address the issue or topic brought up as usual.
