Playboy to cut ties with Portugal edition over 'shocking' photos of Jesus Christ with topless models (http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2010/07/09/2010-07-09_playboy_severs_ties_with_portugal_edition_over_ shocking_photos_of_jesus_christ_w.html)

Playboy is known for pushing boundaries, but a recent move by its Portuguese arm may have pushed those boundaries too far. Way, way too far, a spokeswoman for Playboy reveals.

The July edition of Playboy in Portugal features a cover with a topless, tattooed model being held by Jesus Christ. Inside, it includes more spreads of Jesus surrounded by nude women.

The photos were supposed to be a tribute to “The Gospel According to Jesus Christ,” a novel written by Jose Saramago about Christ’s life.

But Playboy headquarters didn’t quite see them like that, denouncing the shoot as “shocking.”

“We did not see or approve the cover and pictorial in the July issue of Playboy Portugal,” Theresa Hennessy, vice president of public relations at Playboy, told the UK’s Daily Mail.

“It is a shocking breach of our standards and we would have not allowed it to be published if we had seen it in advance,” she added.

Playboy intends to sever relations with Frestacom-Lisbon Media Publishing, the Portuguese subsidiary responsible for that shoot.

“We are in the process of terminating our agreement with the Portuguese publisher,” Hennessey told the paper.

This is funny to me as Buddha is often depicted with topless Apsaras or topless daughters of Mara. But to my knowledge, Buddha has yet to make Playboy. I guess we have something to aspire to...

Well, that was boring... lol

People for the most part want to be shocking, but most don't want to do what is REALLY shocking.

So they post a picture of someone elses god with a pair of tatas.

yeah, that's original. ha!
The romans were doing graffito like that before jesus was even around.

Fined: Russian art curators who likened Jesus to Lenin (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/fined-russian-art-curators-who-likened-jesus-to-lenin-2025099.html)

Two Russian art curators were sentenced to hefty fines yesterday for inciting religious hatred over a 2007 exhibition that included artworks comparing Jesus Christ to Mickey Mouse and Vladimir Lenin.

The exhibition, entitled "Forbidden Art" was held three years ago at the Sakharov museum. Yuri Samodurov, the director of the museum until 2008, and Andrei Yerofeyev, the exhibition's curator, were fined 200,000 roubles and 150,000 roubles (£4,300 and £3,200) respectively.

"This conviction means our government is following a dangerous path for a so-called democracy," said Mr Samodurov immediately after the verdict. He said he did not have the money to pay the fine and would appeal.

The case has pitted much of Russia's artistic and intellectual community against the resurgent Orthodox Church, and there were brief scuffles between the two factions outside the courtroom yesterday. Prosecutors had pushed for a jail sentence, and church activists were furious that no jail term was imposed.

"This can't be allowed to stand," a black-clad church activist holding a silver cross told the Associated Press. "Society must be protected from these people. We wage spiritual war on them and will hound them out of Russia."

Earlier in the day, a performance art group had released thousands of live ****roaches into the corridors of the courthouse, in protest at what they called "****roach justice".

Rights groups were quick to criticise the guilty verdicts. "These shameful verdicts are yet another blow to freedom of expression in Russia," said Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia programme director, Nicola Duckworth. "Such judgements have no place in a state supposedly ruled by law."

The works, reasonably tame in comparison to some of the shock-art to which visitors to Western galleries are accustomed, had all been refused participation in other exhibitions, prompting organisers to set up the special show.

The works which most angered the Orthodox Church involved biblical scenes where the figure of Christ was replaced by Mickey Mouse.

In another artwork, the face of a saint in a traditional Orthodox icon was replaced with black caviar. Other Moscow curators have said they will restage the exhibition in a show of support for the two convicted men.

Seeing how nowadays religion and fast food are marketed in the same way, or intensity, then that picture makes more sense than one would first imagine, specially when you take into consideration that some people believe that "fast food" religion, to the spirit, does more harm than good, in the same manner as fast food to the physical body.....
