Naked Man Ads Piss Off Catholics

A fitness company in Boston is under fire from Catholic groups after running ads depicting nuns sketching a naked male body:

"It says a great deal about this perverse obsession in both the fashion industry and the advertising industry of exploiting and mocking and sexualizing Catholic religious imagery," Doyle said.

The fitness company responded with a written statement saying, "Our ad campaigns are based on personal motivation and fantasy and throughout history the body has been considered a form of art."

I'm sure the riots will start any minute now, prepare for the streets to run with the blood of infidels.

More than anything, this ad doesn't bother me because it mocks religion, it bothers me because it's such a lame ad. It's like ad companies aren't even trying to be creative any more. The concept of nuns being naughty isn't original or even funny, it's plain stupid, wrapped in retarded and done to death. Simply, it's plagiarism.

If the ad company, or the gym, wanted to be original, cutting edge, and pushing the so-called envelope, they would have a bunch of middle eastern women in veils painting a naked Imam. Or maybe the ad execs and the gym owners decided that they would rather live.

It's not cutting edge when you're mocking people that you know won't fight back, it's actually bullying. At the very least it's pathetic and says an awful lot about what kind of losers run that gym.
