chuckwoww Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Sri Lanka bans offensive images Buddha is revered by most of the Sri Lankan population Customs officials and police and customs in Sri Lanka have been told to seize Buddha Bar music and bikinis with Buddha images, officials say. The music - which originates from a nightclub in Paris - and the swimwear have been deemed by the authorities as potentially offensive to Buddhists. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3795259.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Doubt very much if the man himself would have found any offence though.People who get hung up on holy images don't seem to have learned anything. About the only good thing I can think of about islam is the ban on idols and images of anything held to be 'holy'.BTW if you type in www.fuckgod.com you get a very surprising result-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 off topic I have visited Buddha Bar a few times in Paris and it's a nice club and I hear the CD's occasionally which I bought in LOS. In Europe their music is overpriced, but I presume that the Buddha Bar compilations paved the way for all other Asian-eclectic-ambient world music compilations.
