That's ridiculous...people are trying too hard to be offended
That was my initial reaction, as well.
BUT....well, think about it. Why a priest? Why not...some corporate exec on a business trip? ...bored housewife? ...oversexed teenager?
Why chose a *priest*, specifically, to be "lusting" after something (given that this is apparently the wording the ad chose - 'Lust')? Especially with the comment from a passerby "Hey, you really shouldn't be doing that".
It's pretty obvious those sex-abuse scandals are what they were 'making a wink at' with the ad to stir up scandal and controversy.
I mean, seriously, it really IS in pretty poor taste.
And it's not like they were sued, or anything. Somebody noted, 'Hey, this seems to be poking fun at something you shouldn't be poking fun at', and, apparently, Lincoln agreed and pulled the ad.
