It’s no secret that bashing Christians is Feng Shui. There is no shame any longer in making Jesus a mockery for all things heinous, impious and iconoclastic. So, why does this story about the Virgin Mary being made a spoof cover for porn still surprise me?!
Yes that smut is a real picture from Playboy Mexico, and yes, somewhere the real “Our Lady of Guadalupe” is about to roll up with some of her oye carnals, screaming “La Raza” and looking to peel a cap in some perverted photographer somewhere in Tijuana.
Now, my Espanol isn’t what it used to be, but I can read the cover that reads, “We love you, Maria.” Um, you think this was done on purpose given the stained glass window and the fact this crap hit the shelves so close to the season for stocking stuffers?
So, finally, the Church united and griped out loud! And Hef apologized with the quickness…kinda:
While Playboy Mexico never meant for the cover or images to offend anyone, we recognize that it has created offense, and we as well as Playboy Mexico offer our sincerest apologies.” The publisher of Playboy Mexico Raul Sayrols, also said in a statement: “The image is not and never was intended to portray the Virgin of Guadalupe or any other religious figure. The intent was to reflect a Renaissance-like mood on the cover.”
And what renaissance mood was that, holmes? The Spanish Inquistion? Yeah, that’s some sweet PR, you chauvinistic dinosaurs. Note, they are not apologizing for publishing sacrilegious porn, but rather for getting caught above the radar. Nice.
However, what’s important to notice is this story had the same life in major news (specifically the Church) about as long as… well, any other story where the Church is in the center of a no-holds-barred attack on faith. Free speech, ain’t it grand, or just excommunicated when it comes to things of God?
The Writing on the Wall 
And I have discovered a woman more bitter than death: she who is like the snare of a hunter, and whose heart is like a net, and whose hands are like chains. Whoever pleases God shall flee from her. But whoever is a sinner shall be seized by her. ~Ecc. 7:26
who ever wrote this is full of [bleep]. because the virgin mary is not a joke for some stupid idiots to be playing with it. so [eff] who ever wrote this.
Hey Rene,
Before you go grab the bar of Dial or Irish Spring for that salty language, I would recommend you read the post again. The commentary was directed toward the impious dimwits who thought this would be a good idea. I reported the fact and bashed them, so for you to come out and slam me is a bit.. oh, narrow minded and sophomoric. The Virgin Mary is not a joke. We agree… but you would have known that if you could read without that huge chip on your shoulder blocking your view of the PC monitor.
Peace, HiScrivener
filho da puta, anticristo, se nao tem fé na religiao alheia nao abuse ou critique, enfia uma dentadura no cu e ri pro caralho
“The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with the bones.” Yet another example of human perversity (as though I needed another example), but then what has Hef done that hasn’t been perverse? Thanks for posting this.
SHE IS SO HOT THOUGH =]
That is a serious sin, but we must remember that God is slow but never forgets.
Sooner or later they will pay that serious offense.

Isabel,
I completely understand the angst, but you do understand two things: 1.) I didn’t “do that” and 2.) I don’t think Hugh reads the Wall. Sorry.
Peace,
HiScrivener
you are a [bleep bleepity bleep bleep] for doing that! your not supposed to do that! thats gods mom you effin idiot stupid [more bleepity bleeps]!!!!
(Editor’s Note: Victoria, I am not a proponent on filtering comments, but due respect, I don’t want to allow terms like that. This post made me irate as well… and believe me, those bleeps got more attention outside of my writing. I appreciate your post though. Peace.)
I am not Catholic. I do have reverence for May but not
in the Catholic way of belief. As far as the as the Playboy/Mexico goes, First of all, you have to target two souces and two sources only. Why did the girl pose for the cover and in the magazine…simple$$$ and like Eve, (CURIOSITY). That just goes to show that most women do not have any common sense!
It is (Money ) that does their talking. What type
of idiot perverts because that IS what these individuals who run Playboy are. Why do they have to exploit somehting of spiritual nature? What is it that these perverted photogaphers want to reveal? Aren’t there enough females already possing for their perverted magazine? Was this magazine banned.
Freedom of expression they say. Well, what exactly
are they expressing? Making money in diverse ways?
Why do waomen even pose naked?
Women who doit, photographers and their CEO’s,
They are the PERVERTS
Were any of the cover model’s pseudo-pricipals violated?
Rrrriiiigggghhht … they had no intention of putting “Madonna” in the pose of a Madonna (even holding an apparently-invisible baby to nurse) up to offend anyone! I’m sure it was just a Renaissance feel.
Then again, you’re right, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Hef’s outfit is acting like disgusting reprobates. And in other news, the Pope is Catholic.
This is one of those moments, though, when I’m reminded of God saying that the sin of the Canaanites was not yet complete, and He was going to bring the Israelites back to wipe them out when it was.
I wonder, how close are we?
