The Virgin *WHO* on playboy

@ 04:12 AM (11 months, 8 days ago)

Although I try to be a good christian at heart, I have always had issues with organized religion, and those that we usually label as being pompous or sanctimonious in particular stir up the devil in me, and I tend to go out of my way to piss them off....That being said.....THAT is why I find this story so damn funny....lol....riff

(Newser) Playboy's apology for a cover appearing to show a breast-flashing Virgin Mary isn't penance enough, a furious priest tells CNN. (Yeah....after seeing that issue he went out and gave an altar boy hell....rofl) Playboy Mexico said the picture of a veiled model in front of a stained-glass window with the caption "Te Adoramos María"—"We Adore You, Maria"—wasn't meant to represent a religious figure, but the priest and other church officials consider that a blatant lie. (after seeing that fine mamacita they probably lost about half of their preist in training...what do you mean celibacy??????....aw helllllllll no...rofl)

Not only is the image offensive, the priest said, but Playboy's decision to use it during the holiday season and just before the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe doubles the insult. "How many nativity scenes are out there this time of the year?" he said. "How many times is Mary a central figure in this whole celebration?  This is very offensive. It's blasphemous." .....(Yeah so what.....if that lady "appeared"  flashing in front of ME like that, well lets just say her *virginity* status, would no longer be applicable........can you say "yummie"?.....signed riff the sacrilegious irreverant asshole......lol...merry fricken christmas)

  3. Good point EB. pino should simply be judged on his own actions. You have done a wonderful job setting them forth.
