According to Stuff.co.nz, an Invercargill, New Zealand retailer, who was selling hooded tops with the words "Jesus Is A Cunt" emblazoned on the back was fined yesterday in Invercargill District Court.
Warren Craig Skill, 35, appeared before Judge Michael Turner on one charge of possessing an objectionable publication, namely CRADLE OF FILTH garments (four t-shirts and four hoodies) on or about June 8.
He was fined $500 and an order was made for the destruction of the garments.
The charge was laid by the Internal Affairs Department under the Films, Videos and Publications Classification Act.
The Southland Times revealed last winter that the Impuls'd store, in south Invercargill, was selling hooded tops with the words "Jesus is a cunt" emblazoned on the back.
The tops also featured a highly sexualised image of a Catholic nun.
People had been seen wearing the tops on city streets in the days before the article appeared.
