This sacrelicious 1960 German TV ad for "Afri-Cola" was the subject of much controversy for its depictions of stoned nuns tripping on sugarwater.
Link (via We Make Money Not Art)Following its TV broadcast, this commercial was the subject of great discussion: nuns lounge around in an afri-cola rush. It led to a boycott of the Bayerisch Rundfunk, and in a letter, Cardinal Frings mentions afri-cola in connection with the "denigration of the church".
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
