Priest outraged at ‘spoof supper’

A PUBLICAN criticised by a priest for using a ‘blasphemous’ caricature of a famous religious painting to advertise his premises has described it as a “harmless bit of fun’’.

A mini holy war has flared following the appearance of an ad for the Osborne bar, Edward Street, Tralee, Co Kerry, in a local publication.

In a send-up of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, Jesus Christ appears as a braying horse and the ‘apostles’ include Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Bono, George Bush, Elvis Presley, Tony Blair and Kerry football manager Páidí Ó Sé.
