Wow, that would be interesting if LEGO was taking a position against the

Is there any truth to this, or is this just the UK equivalent to the Weekly
World News?

Even aside from how TLG may pursue the matter, the article reads as so much
newsrag hype.  The author throws around all these shocking terms and veiled
accusations but doesn't even mention the fact, much less the implications,
that these are depictions of Biblical text.

Yes, and "Oh no, these pedophiles have links to the Brick Testament!!!"
Well, they probably have links to MSN.COM as well, if they're using IE.

Depicting Bible stories as Brendan does, is a wonderful artistic endeavour.
If we start saying, "You can't have these pics 'cause child molestors get
off on it", well then all those teen magazines will have to be removed.  As
well, describing the scene, as the Bible does, is what Brendan depicts.
Censor his pics, don't we then have to censor the Bible?

I also have "Brick Testament" bookmarked, as I am sure many of you do.  Does
that make us all accomplices to child porn?

The only thing I thought that was 'honest journalism' was the quotation
marks around "Rev".  That's the only redeeming thing about the entire
article--the rest was just hysteria.

I support Brendan in his artistic pursuits.  Keep up the great work.
