\"Down With This Sort of Thing\" Large Repro Button
A large 2.25\" button with theslogans\"Down With This Sort of Thing.\"
Inspired by the \'Father Ted\' TV episode, Passion Of StTibulus. \'Father Ted\' was a 90\'s British TV series about threepriests and their housesitter who live in Ireland and must deal witheach other and the decidedly eccentric locals. the seriesstarred Dermot Morgan, Ardal O\'Hanlon, Frank Kelly and PaulineMcLynn.
\"ThePassionof Saint Tibulus\", a film condemned by the Pope as \"blasphemous\" andbanned everywhere else, is being shown on Craggy Island because of anunknownloophole. Father Ted is ordered to go protest the film by BishopBrennan. Bemoaning thefact that there are still sevenhours before the cinema even opens, Ted and Dougal stand outside withplacardsreading \"Down with this sort of thing\" and \"Careful Now\".
Religious films aresometimes banned in the UK, including \"Sebastiane\" and \"Monty Pythonand the Holy Grail\" which was in fact banned in Ireland. \"ThePassion of Saint Tibulus\" seems to be along the same controversiallines as \"The Last Temptation of Christ.\"
This truly generic protest button can be worn at any rally,butthink of other occasions: work performance reviews! Babyshowers! Funerals! Political rallies! Great stocking stuffer, and dandy pinned to the bow of a Christmas present! Wearing this as a button is less tiring than carrying a sign.
