Hey Ian, Issue one. Well as far as I can see it the use of the word 'probably' is making no specific claim bar that of an opionin. Carlsberg larger, is the best larger in the world? According to their ads which have towed the same line for years no, it probably is. If Carlsberg have not had to face any fines, punishments etc for their campaign featuring the word, then I don't see any complaints to the advertiosing standards agency as bearing any fruit at all for these complaining Christians.
Issue two. Well we just don't know at this time I guess. On 9 Jan, 17:07, "Ian Pollard" <[email protected]> wrote: > Two questions I've been mulling over... > > 1.
