Well, those crazy Brits are at it again.<\/p>\n

First, it was a pastor leaving the ministry to become an Elvis impersonator\/evangelist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, a hair salon is using the Second Coming to promote their business.<\/p>\n

When will the madness end?!<\/p>\n

\u2018Jesus is coming, better get your hair done\u2019 advert deemed not offensive<\/h1>\n

The Telegraph<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The advert for Barber Brown\u2019s hair salon, which is based in Bristol but has a string of salons across the southwest of England, featured a photo of Jesus Christ bathed in light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Text on the press advert stated: \u201cHe is coming \u2026 Better get your hair done!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Two people complained that the advert was offensive to Christians and that the ad \u2018implied that Jesus would judge people on their outward appearance\u2019 and was offensive as it \u2018depicted the Second Coming as humorous\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A spokesman for the barber shop said that in the past flyers advertising the hairdressers had been handed to local churches and that most people were \u2018positive\u2019 about the press advert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They said it was \u2018not their intention to cause offence\u2019 and that the advert was \u2018meant to be humorous and different rather than offensive\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) today cleared the advert, stating is had not breached guidelines.<\/p>\n

It stated: \u201cThe ASA noted that the ad featured a depiction of Jesus bathed in light and that the text appeared to make reference to the Second Coming.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe acknowledged that some people might find the ad distasteful.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we considered that most consumers would understand that it was a light-hearted take on the biblical story rather than a mockery of Christian belief.\u201d<\/p>\n
