Last Supper Molehill

In case you haven't seen it, there's a poster out for the Folsom Street BDSM Fair in San Fran. It's a by now rather cliche'd attempt to scandalize by depicting leather daddies, dominatrices, and S&Mers--with a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence thrown in for good measure--in the classic DaVinci last supper pose. That this joke has by now run its course has apparently been lost on Bill Donohue, of the Catholic League, who has been making the "news" talk show rounds to harrumph about the injustice of it all--and to trot out the ol' what-Muslims-would-do-in-a-similary-situation cannard. Some amusing, and insightful commentary from Dan Savage (as well as the poster in question) at The Stranger:
