The first to react were Hindus. They protested because they believe that Ganesha, the Hindu god, is depicted inappropriately in the lamb advertisement. Primarily, because Ganesha does not eat meat.
The advertisement from the Australian meat producer, specifically lamb, has stirred religious circles around the world, as it features Jesus, Buddha, Ganesha, Confucius, Zeus, Odin, Moses, Aphrodite, and even the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, sitting at the same table and eating barbecue.
On the menu is Australian lamb under the bell.
In the ad, Jesus entertains Aphrodite by turning her wine into water, as she does not drink alcohol. When Zeus, who is at the head of the table, asks him where his Father is, Jesus replies: “He is everywhere. Just kidding. He works.”
Moses adds peas, Buddha jokes with Ganesha. The Prophet Muhammad calls to say he won’t make it to the barbecue. Jesus is sorry..
The gods and deities discuss Christian rock. To L. Ron Hubbard, who complained that he canceled dinner with Tom Cruise due to the barbecue, Moses says: “Ron, let’s not talk about religion at the table.”
