Last but not least: Pornoangelo

Just how offensive were Michelangelo's paintings, really? Very—at least according to Facebook.

Facebook can apparently afford to do without advertisers. Like other American online giants, the largest social network is waging a relentless battle against all things naked and lewd. While all available eyes are turned when it comes to the depiction of brute force and brutality, no quarter is given to naked skin on the other side of the Atlantic.

Eckehard Bamberger also had to realize this. The author of the book "Psalm 1 - The Ways of God and Man" hit a snag when he tried to advertise his pious work on Facebook. The reason: the title page of the book shows Adam as God created him. So naked - ad rejected. Incidentally, Adam's head was altered for symbolic reasons, in case you're wondering whether the great master really did look like that. bungling specially painted.

Yo! That should leave no more questions unanswered. But on what day did God actually create underpants? This might be necessary for the required changes. (hae)
