'it was utterly stupid of the film makers not to know the policy of cinemas before they commissioned the advert'

As I said previously, Cineworld did not appear to know their own policy and were in detailed discussion with the CofE including offering them a discounted rate. Do you not think it unfair in light of this to accuse the film makers of stupidity?

You are right though that the reason for not showing it is that it is potentially the thin end of the wedge. Nobody actually would be offended by this ad but there are plenty of political and religious ads that people would find offensive. Where Cineworld went wrong is to suggest that this particular ad could be considered offensive. A policy of not having religious and political ads is a justifiable one; a policy of not running ads that you think might be offensive even though the ASA and the censors don't agree is totally ill-considered.
