Playboy Portugal have featured Jesus Christ on the cover and in a spread for the July issue as a tribute to Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago’s novel The Gospel According to Jesus Christ.
This didn’t go down too well with thousands of people, including the people at Playboy headquarters, and has now resulted in the Portuguese edition of Playboy being shut down. A rep for Playboy commented saying…
“We did not see or approve the cover and pictorial in the July issue of Playboy Portugal. It is a shocking breach of our standards, and we would not have allowed it to be published if we had seen it in advance. As a result of this and other issues with the Portuguese publisher, we are in the process of terminating our agreement.”
The photos show Jesus next to a street hooker, a topless girl reading a book and two lesbians about to kiss each other. I myself don’t mind these photos but I can see why it would upset some people. It is a good spread and more interesting than the typical Playboy photoshoots.
I present to you Seattle’s Pastor Mark Driscoll, a super cool laid back kind of dude, who sports tattoos and spouts crazy ideas about fictional movies set on fictional worlds starring fictional creatures being the work of Satan.
I know that when I went to see Avatar, I was immediately impressed by the beauty and grand scale of Pandora, but a bit less impressed by the storyline. However, after listening to Pastor Mark, I can finally come to terms with the strong desire to bite the heads off of kittens and sodomize goats that I felt as soon as I left the theater. Not saying that I did.
Well, I didn’t bite any kittens.
Satan made me do it.
Here is just a fresh squeeze of insanity juice for you, if you don’t want to watch the video:
“It presents a false mediator with a witch… We have a false Jesus. And the visuals are amazing, because Satan wants you to emotionally connect with the lie. Oh, the problem is not that I need a savior, the problem is that I need to live in tune with creation. This is all Easter garbage-ism. …We’re a very creative church. I’ve got three Tivos. We just don’t like Satan.â€
Avatar is set to be re-released this summer, not just to make more money than it already has (which is somewhere along the lines of fifty bucks, I think), but to convert the masses into screaming, drooling, kitten eating sodomites. Now that’s a plan that I can get down with.
By the way, I don’t have any Tivos, and I love Satan. So blow me, Mark.

A man who posted a video of himself on the Internet holding a sign that said “Elton John must die” has been arrested for making terroristic threats.
Neal Horsley, 65, was arrested early Wednesday in Carrollton, Georgia, about 50 miles (80 kilometres) west of Atlanta, said Atlanta Police Sgt. Curtis Davenport. He would not say whom Horsley is accused of threatening, but Horsley’s son, Nathan, said he thought the arrest was connected to the video about the musician.
In the video posted Feb. 28 on YouTube, Horsley held the sign in front of a building where he said John has a condo. John’s publicist, Fran Curtis, confirmed that John has an Atlanta apartment but declined further comment.
Horsley was upset that John, who is gay, told Parade magazine in an interview last month that he thought Jesus was a “compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.”
“What Elton John has done is desecrated the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, blasphemed the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Horsley founded the Creator’s Rights Party and has declared himself a candidate in the 2010 governor’s race. He kicked off his campaign July 4, 2008 in downtown Carrollton, wearing a placard showing the head of an aborted fetus while singing an anti-abortion song.
The state ethics commission, which oversees election filings, has no record of Horsley’s campaign.
He previously gained notoriety in the late 1990s for his role in establishing a Web site that published the names and addresses of doctors who performed abortions. Planned Parenthood officials called the site a “hit list for terrorists.”
Fulton County jail records showed Horsley also faces charges of criminal defamation and disseminating terroristic threats over the Internet.
He was being held Thursday in the Fulton County jail on $40,000 bond. As conditions for his release, a judge said he must live with his son in a house with a phone landline and must pay 10 per cent of his bond in cash.
Horsley’s son said his father doesn’t have an attorney.
Looks like Neal HorsleyMust Get Sued.
