Okay. I read it. It makes no sense to me, BUT I don’t understand the uproar over it and the need to act like it should not have been printed. There are tons of weird ads these days.
Religious quackery warning about religious quackery, Just imagine the outrage in the US if the add had been fronted by the Jews or Muslims against Christians. Quackery has no place in a civilised society.
