Film student on offensive in campaign to find virgin
July 26, 2009

A FILM student is prepared to use an image of the prophet Muhammad to help find two Australians willing to sell their virginity online.

Filmmaker Justin Sisely has already featured the Virgin Mary in his recruitment drive, using posters of her with male genitalia drawn crudely on her forehead in Sydney and Melbourne. He has also used the image online.

The Advertising Standards Bureau ruled the posters be removed after complaints the image denigrated the Christian religion, was an insensitive depiction of sexuality and was inappropriately placed in areas frequented by children.

Sisely, 29, said he would continue using the posters and image as long as they remained an effective way to recruit potential subjects for his film. The successful applicants, a man and a woman, will receive at least $20,000 each.

"I wouldn't change it because they rang me up and said 'We've decided that this image is inappropriate,"' he said.

Sisely said he was considering using an image of Muhammad in a new series of posters in Brisbane next month, but would not if the move incited violence.

Now why would he *ever* be afraid of violence from the Religion of Peace™?

My own view is that in a free society, people should be able to create 'art works', even 'offensive art works' without the threat of violence. But of a naive hope I know, because of course if something is 'offensive' then it of course it gives you the right to threaten them with death, with there being nothing worse than being offended  ::).

That justin, what a religionist. (note newly created word from me there !!!)

he's ok to give one religions as much stick as he can,
(Who cares what religion?)
Yet, he won't to another .
(Who cares what the other religion is?)

Just out of curiousity is it ok to create artworks that deny the holocaust? The entire Western world seemed quite upset by it recently when Iran held an exhibition of such works...

Perhaps you'd better amend it and state "My own view is that in a free society, people should be able to create 'art works', even 'offensive [to Islam] art works' without the threat of violence."

Holocaust denial is contemptible. Legal persecution of holocaust deniers is stupid.
