Recently, there was a huge outrage when Lidl duly removed the cross from Eridanous products in its stores in the name of cancel culture, now an iconic statue of Jesus Christ stood in the way of the world-famous sports car manufacturer, Porsche.

Porsche created a commercial for the 60th "birthday" of its legendary car, the 911 model. In the film, older and newer models of the car are shown cruising through the mountains and cities, but viewers noticed that a huge statue of Jesus Christ was retouched from the background, only the 82-meter high concrete pedestal is visible, reports v4na.com .

The iconic 28-metre Christo Rei (Christ the King) statue – inspired by Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer – overlooks the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, and was erected by local residents after the First World War in gratitude for their country's escape from war.

However, it could not be included in the Porsche commercial - at least at first.

The retouching of the Jesus statue caused a huge outrage, and Porsche was also under fire, saying that the car company had joined the liberal line that is trying to erase religions.

The German manufacturer eventually apologized and called what happened a "mistake". In a statement to MailOnline, a spokesperson said:

“A landmark has been removed from the previously uploaded version of the 911 S/T teaser.

This was a mistake and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. The original movie is now online”.

Although Porsche has corrected its "mistake", we have previously seen countless examples of manufacturers trying to remove traces of Christianity from, for example, their products or advertising.

As a reminder, in 2017, it caused a huge outrage when Lidl duly retouched and removed the cross from Eridanous products in its stores. The products show the famous Orthodox church of the island of Santorini, which of course also has a cross on it in reality - this cross has been removed by Lidl.

But Easter eggs also fell victim to the cancel culture in a similar way, when the Swedish food chain ICA started selling Easter eggs as "cancelled eggs" in its stores.
