Christ the Redeemer in 2014 World Cup T-shirt enrages Brazil's Catholics
Want to know the fastest way to piss off an entire country? Desecrate a major religious site and the sport that they treat like a religion at the same damn time. A television commercial in Italy for the 2014 World Cup features Christ the Redeemer (one of the most famous religious statues in the world) towering over Rio de Janeiro in an Italian football jersey. According to Telegraph, the Catholic Church of Brazil has called the ad "disrespectful and inappropriate" and the Archdiocese of Rio is threatening to sue. [link]
