So gnu is it fair to say you think such an image should be allowed to exist, but that it's in poor taste to place it in a spot as public and unavoidable as a billboard?

If that's roughly true, I'm wondering where you'd be comfortable drawing the line between okay place(s) for it and not okay places. Like, I dunno, what about that church buying an ad in Readers' Digest, where people can express their outrage by cancelling subscriptions? (Not that I think RD would accept such an ad.) Would it be acceptable for them to buy a newspaper ad? If it came as a flyer in the mail,one could have the satisfaction of tearing it up or using it for fire starter. All I'm trying to nail down, since you felt the image best doesn't appear so publicly, is how un-public is enough for your preference?
