  'Last Supper' Painting Stirs Tempest

  CHICAGO (Reuters) - A painting in which advertising icons
  ranging from Tony the Tiger to Aunt Jemima replace the figures
  in Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" has stirred up a minor
  tempest at a Chicago-area art museum.

  The Chicago Athenaeum has received more than 100 calls
  protesting the piece, but also a number of favorable calls and
  positive comments from visitors, Kristin Kaufman, director of
  education at the museum in nearby Schaumburg said on
  Wednesday.

  "It really is pro-religion by saying that corporate America has too
  much say in peoples' lives," she told Reuters.

  The work by Chicago artist Dick Detzner is titled "The Last
  Pancake Breakfast."

  It features a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup as Jesus
  at the center of the table flanked by Kellogg's "Snap, Crackle
  and Pop," "Cap'n Crunch" and the other symbols as the
  Apostles.
