Anonymous Coward writes with an article from the BBC:

The Church of England has said it is "disappointed and bewildered" by the refusal of leading UK cinemas to show an advert featuring the Lord's Prayer.

[...] the Digital Cinema Media (DCM) agency, which handles British film advertising for the major cinema chains, Odeon, Cineworld and Vue, refused to show the advert because it believed it would risk upsetting or offending audiences.

Which makes me wonder if we can get those anti-piracy ads pulled for offending audiences. Offensive to those who paid for the movie, and to those with the Kopimism religion: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-16424659
