On page 8 of today's Irish Independent there is an advert advising people to vote No in tomorrow's Lisbon referendum.
It will have to go down in the history of advertising as one of the most bizarre. But it is terribly funny.
Amazing lines in it. It tells us Tá Dia Láidir. It talks about infected water in Galway in 2007 and a Freemason-determined EU Parliament.
It is hilarious. But what is disturbing and worrying about it is that it is anonymous and most likely has many sympathisers within the clerical church. It really is scary.
Should a national newspaper carry an anonymous advertisement?
Is the ad blasphemous?

free country isn't it? oh yeah, and the link between the ad most likely having many sympathisers within the clerical church - i'd say you're right there. Shock. Horror!
Is this the 'P O'Neill' of former IRA statements?
