I believe it is nothing new, and certainly not of Thai origins. This is article is naive. I saw this pizza shop in a US movie before. I believe it is nothing new, and certainly not of Thai origins.

I hope you were joking about the photo being "shocking". In addition, exactly who considers xianity to be "a revered institution"? This isn't the 13th century. Perhaps you meant "a revolting institution"? dboy Xianity is not important in Thailand so why would mocking it be against the law? I hope you were joking about the photo being “shocking”.

What do the revered institutions of others have to do with anything?

Or probably not in this case ........ there is nothing "saksit" in Pizza. It could be the namer was (unknowingly) using the cross as a fashion emblem just like many sasanna phut dara wearing crosses (worse, on their tantalizing cleavage or as earrings a la Madonna). Or perhaps the joke is really on us? The makers of Holy Pizza are ex-monks who couldn't make it in their Parian exams or their lifetime commitment to the sangha? As a sasana kris, perhaps someone should brand a product as "holy condoms" in response to the pope's stand on condoms. Or perhaps those westerners whose conscience were pricked should also be more circumscribed and avoid using the expression "buddha belly" to refer to their you know what. BTW, I have partaken of Holy Pizza in Siam Square, and I never even got close to the state of beatification.
