Just wondering...

I've been reading a lot of the DVC commentary and stuff around this weekend. More bothered by people's reaction to the DVC than the film/book/FICTION itself. But, that said...

Isn't blasphemy against Christianity illegal in the UK (I vaguely recall hearing a debate some time ago about how we should have a blasphemy law covering all religions or none at all... I can't remember clearly or specifics)?

If so, shouldn't we put our money where our (collective) mouths are and prosecute Dan Brown etc under it? It has been said that any other real organisation depicted in such a fantastic (as in 'made up', not 'good') way would sue the pants off whoever had the cheek to say such things. Actually, most of the transnational organisations would sue the pants off you for saying something true that they didn't like (McLibel, anyone?).

Maybe the gullable and those halfway to thinking that there might be something in this, would think again if we used the system and responded in a recognisable fashion. They obviously aren't registering what we're doing so far...
