Life of Brian
My old university town of Aberystwyth has hit the headlines again.
The Monty Python film - The Life of Brian - has been banned in the town ever since it was launched in 1979 on the grounds that it is blasphemous.
Aberystwyth's new mayor Sue Jones-Davies, who played the lead character's girlfriend in the film (how coincidental is that?!) is trying to get the ban lifted, but is coming up against strong opposition from the vicar who says it offends Christians.
The thing that made me laugh the most was a quote from the vicar who said that he would be offended if a film insulting his wife was released, so this film is even worse becuase it insults Jesus who he 'loves more than his wife'. I'm sure she is delighted about that!
