Remember that controversial billboard that dragged Mary and Joseph to a hot bed of controversies? Well, that church billboard in Auckland, which depicted Mary and Joseph in bed together, has been ruled not offensive by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

The billboard, which was appeared during last Christmas, was done by the St Matthew-in-the-City Anglican Church. The billboard featured Jesus’s parents in bedroom, with a copy- Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow.

The ASA received a number of complaints late last year saying that the billboard is blasphemous, offensive and insensitive to Christians.But the ASA ruled that although the advertisement was controversial, it was not obscene.
