Playboy Virgin María Florencia Onori Is A True Blessing! Blasphemy!


Pictures: Playboy Virgin María Florencia Onori Is A True Blessing!
All kneel to Playboy’s Virgin María Florencia Onori in all her blessed naked beauty! Machochip has scored the pictures which depict the model as the Lady of Guadalupe for the December issue of Playboy Mexico. The issue which has already caused quite a stir among the Catholic Church in Mexico has sold over 80,000 copies since its release yesterday. Conveniently enough, today December 12 is the day Mexicans celebreate Our Lady of Gudalupe — the 16th century Roman Catholic icon from Mexico representing a Marian apparition. It is perhaps Mexico’s most popular religious and cultural image. Let’s check out the pictures (NSFW) of this apparition below the jump and see what all the controversy is about:



The Playboy piece starts with an incredibly cheesy anthem/prayer in adulation of María. Virgin María?!!! Yes! Its worth a read so we have translated for you:

María Florencia Onori

Bendita Seas

You are so adventurious María, when the light reaches your skin and your eyes find those of our readers. Blankets, flowers, bouquets, and stained glass: a playful game of light and shadow that deliver a renewed sensuality to our pages, witnesses of feminine grace where a stain does not fit, but the subtleness of a youthful body that radiates its beauty in a rug of petals. Yours are the hopes and the candor, yours the nakedness at the light of the candles, yours the crown with which December salutes you. Let it be.
And the pictures with Machochip’s interpretation of each: ........................

Sacha Baron Cohen's black Jesus to shock America

The comedian, who has been sued by several people who featured in his film Borat, will be ready for similar reactions after the release of the big-screen debut of his character Bruno.

The title character, a gay Austrian fashion journalist, is already well known for storming runways at designers' shows and aiming to embarrass industry figures in interviews. Clips of his work have become cult favourites on YouTube.

And it is thought that the film version will see Bruno in more outrageous form.

As well as the Jesus character, it is rumoured that Bruno and his boyfriend, Diesel, adopt an orphaned African baby boy called David and parade the child around fashion shows. It is thought the joke is aimed at Madonna, who adopted a Malawian baby called David Banda.

A source reported to have seen the film in a test screening told The Sun: "Sacha has really gone for the shock tactics this time. The characters were created deliberately to wind up certain sections of society and Jesus is one of them.

"It won't be the first time Sacha has landed himself in hot water," the source reportedly added. "The water might be a little hotter this time round, though. Religion isn't always the best place to poke fun."

TOO BLASPHEMOUS: Homosexuals sodomize image of Jesus Christ

LA VOZ DE AZTLAN
Los Angeles, Alta California

LOS(T) ANGELES: Homosexuals sodomize image of Jesus Christ
Angry over the approval of a California constitutional amendment (Proposition 8) by voters that defines marriage to be only between a man and a women, homosexuals and lesbians have been taking to the streets and besieging churches and temples of worship throughout the state.

One church that has taken the brunt of the attacks has been the historic Mormon Temple of Los Angeles. Last Thursday night, over 2,000 angry homosexuals and lesbians surrounded the Mormon Temple and got on top of the walls to shout obscenities. Many were carrying abominable signs and posters. One particular sign depicted Jesus Christ being sodomized by a homosexual and with the words "Jesus Faggot" written across it. (See photograph at right).

The homosexuals and lesbians have said that they will now be targeting churches in the Mexican-American and Black communities. Blacks and Latinos voted overwhelmingly to approve the constitutional amendment that protects the sanctity of holy matrimony and children. This threat has worried authorities that the situation could get out of control and ignite into major violence. The threat has been answered with strong warnings by organized youth groups. One Black youth said to the LA Times that the so called "gays" are asking for major trouble. Another Latino youth said, "It may be time to send the homosexuals back into the closet."

Today, the besieged Mormon Temple of Los Angeles and another in Salt Lake City received letters with fake Anthrax. It now appears that the sodomites are resorting to terrorism to advance their agenda, The Mormon Temple of Los Angeles had to be evacuated before a hazardous materials team determined the envelope's contents was fake Anthrax , said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.

The temple in Salt Lake City received a similar envelope and its contents spilled onto a secretary's hand. The incident forced the shutdown of the temple for an hour until the FBI determined that the powder was also fake Anthrax, said Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Scott Freitag.

It now appears that the issue of sodomite marriages may be headed back to the California Supreme Court. Californians had already approved an initiative that prohibited same-sex marriages (Proposition 22 on March 7, 2000) but it was struck down by the state Supreme Court earlier this year. Below is a photograph of the seven member Supreme Court and how they voted.

Christian Voice to stage further protests against poetry book

Christian Voice to stage further protests against poetry book

Alison Flood

Christian activists are due to stage a protest outside the Welsh Assembly tomorrow over Patrick Jones's poetry collection Darkness Is Where the Stars Are, which they describe as "ugly, indecent and blasphemous".

Jones is scheduled to read his poetry at the Assembly's T Hywel building tomorrow at 12pm, but the group Christian Voice – which has already successfully campaigned against Jones launching his work at Waterstone's Cardiff branch last month – is planning "a public act of Christian witness" outside the building.

It has also emailed members urging them to apply for tickets for the Assembly event, and for a reading at Borders' Cardiff branch that evening, at which a protest is also planned.

"Say how much you would like an invitation to the event, but don't say you wish to protest!" the organisation said in an email. "Say whatever is needed to get alongside and get a ticket without bearing false witness. You cannot give a false name for either event as ID will be required. So Onward, Christian soldiers, Stand up, stand up for Jesus!"

Darkness Is Where the Stars Are is a collection of poems dealing with issues including domestic violence against men, war, religion and the environment.

Christian Voice objects particularly to one of the poems, which includes the "blasphemous assertion" of sex between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Lines it objects to include "All I preach is deicide", "today I have become a born-again atheist" and "god does not die because he was never alive".

In a statement on its website, it adds: "The poems aren't actually much good, they hardly rhyme, they rarely scan or have rhythm, but they possibly have enough profanity and references to female genitalia to get the literati excited."

National director of Christian Voice Stephen Green said there would be a coach-load of protesters arriving tomorrow for the event. "It can never be wrong to do what is morally right," he said. "Of course [Jones] has the right to think what he likes and say what he likes in the privacy of his own lavatory, but he does not have the right to insult the saviour of the world two weeks before Christmas."

Jones and his publisher Cinnamon Press said they would be going ahead with the events as planned. "The poems to me are not blasphemous, they raise a debate," Jones said. "[The book is] a triumph of talking about my own personal struggle in life and I'm very proud of it, [but] now I just feel I have to constantly defend myself."

He said that he and his publisher "just weren't prepared" for the reaction the book, which took him 20 years to write, received. "It got out of control after Waterstone's gave in, then it snowballed, like with Jerry Springer the Opera," he added. "I almost can't quite believe it … It's legitimised because it's religious [and] we tiptoe around extremist religious activity."

Cinnamon Press, a small publisher founded three-and-a-half years ago, said it had been flooded with supportive emails, some from Christians. "I think this has given it a wider market," said editor Jan Fortune-Wood. "Poetry is a niche market, and if you sell a couple of hundred copies you're lucky – this has been extraordinary publicity."

On its website, Christian Voice wrote: "Should the event be cancelled, we shall have something to praise the Lord Jesus Christ for! On the other hand, should the Assembly choose to insult Him, we shall praise His holy name and pray to Him for mercy."

We're seeing the Christian faith attacked on all sides."

Christian group's poetry protest
Around 250 Christian activists have protested outside the Welsh assembly building about a poetry reading.

Patrick Jones was invited by two assembly members to read from his collection Darkness Is Where The Stars Are, which has already led to claims it is "obscene and blasphemous".

Stephen Green, director of Christian Voice, said: "This turnout shows the strength of feeling of people."

Mr Jones was "shocked" by the numbers but said it was good for free speech.

Protesters sang hymns and some held placards before the ticket-only event inside the Senedd building.

Mr Green added: We're seeing the Christian faith attacked on all sides."

"Now it's under attack in a seat of government in the UK."

Nick Bourne, leader of the Welsh Conservatives was at the demonstration, and was asked if he was showing his support.

He replied: "Yes, essentially."


"Our group opposed this {reading] at the home of Welsh democracy, promoting something which is anti-Christian and we would say that if it was any recognised religion."

Mr Jones was asked by Labour AM Lorraine Barrett and Liberal Democrat AM Peter Black, who said he wanted to make sure the poet was not "gagged".

"I think this is a good day for democracy. We've head both sides - Patrick has had his poetry reading and it's also important for people to be able to make their views known."

One of the poems that has offended Christians, called Hymn, includes a reference to Mary Magdalene having sex with Jesus. It was read by an actress Stacey Daley, from Newport.


Mr Jones is the brother of Nicky Wire, of the Manic Street Preachers.

A books-signing launch event was cancelled at a Cardiff branch of Waterstone's last month after an earlier protest was planned.

He signed copies of the collection of 30 to 40 poems in the street instead.

Mr Jones, who has said he is "really proud" of the book said after the protest: "I was really shocked at the turnout and I think that's healthy for democracy but I don't think many of them have read the poem.

"A bit of a moral panic has been created but what happened at Waterstone's set a dangerous precedent."

He insisted he had not singled out Christianity in his poems, but was questioning beliefs in society.

Mr Green said: "I didn't want to get party political about this, but I've had a number of letters of support from members of the assembly.

"The Conservative group has come out against this locally and many Plaid Cymru members have too.

"I am not taking sides, I'm just telling it how it is."

Darkness Is Where The Stars Are-Blasphemy

Poetry launch cancelled after Christian protest
13 Nov 08, 10:04 AM
The launch of a new book of poems in the Waterstone's bookstore in Cardiff has been cancelled because a conservative Christian campaign group called on the chain to removes copies of the book from its stores. Darkness Is Where The Stars Are by Patrick Jones was to be launched at 7.30 p.m. yesterday, but Patrick Jones says the event was cancelled because of a 'threats of disruption' to the store.

Christian Voice's leader Stephen Green led an e-mail campaign against the book, and encouraged Waterstones to cancel the launch, because he regards some of the poems within the collection as 'obscene and blasphemous'.

Even though the event had been cancelled, Patrick Jones went to the Waterstones bookstore at The Hayes in Cardiff and signed copies of his book in the street. Mr Jones is plainly a poet who addresses political and religious themes in his work. In this collection, some poems explore the portrayal of women and some deal with the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. He uses language that is, at times, raw. He would not be the first poet to address these themes or to use raw language.

As one might expect, Christian Voice have now given Patrick Jones a much larger audience than he might previously have expected for his book. We'll see how this story pans out over the next few days, but I expect that the controversy provoked by the cancellation of this book launch will increase sales and name recognition for this poet.

Speaking of which, here's his bio:

Patrick is a poet, playwright, human rights activist and filmmaker. His work includes the poetry collections The Guerilla tapestry and Fuse, the CD of spoken word and music Commemoration and Amnesia and the plays Everything Must Go, Unprotected Sex, The War is Dead long live the war and Sing to Me. He has also directed short films and videos for the bands The Manic Street Preachers and Lethargy. Patrick is also committed to taking words to the whole of the community and has developed writing groups for young people in Wales and beyond, developed and co-ordinated writing and drama workshops for people of all ages and from a mixed background, attended many different organisations from community groups to universities to speak about writing and give readings of work. Set-up various writing projects for people with specific needs, for example hospice patients, school non-attendees, mental health patients and most recently the young homeless.He has worked with various communty based projects with NCH, The Welsh National Opera, St. David's Foundation Hospice Care and The Dyn Project (advocacy for men who have experienced domestic violence) and The Prison Service.

THE BLASPHEMOUS JACK BLACK AS JESUS

Jack Black as Jesus
09/12/08 | Posted by MattPage

School of Rock star Jack Black has appeared playing Jesus in an internet film. Prop 8 - The Musical was written by Marc Shaiman (Hairspray) as a protest against a new piece of Californian legislation limiting gay rights. Black appears to a bunch of evangelical Christians (played by John C. Reilly and West Wing's Allison Janney) and points out that they seem to pick and choose which parts of the Bible they follow. Jesus goes on to suggest that they should pick the bits that talk about love and not those that are about hate.The film gained an incredible 1.2 million hits in its first day, and reached the 2.5 million mark within just 5 days.

Jack Black
Black’s not the first, seemingly unlikely, comedian to play Jesus. Back in 1999 Will Ferrell had a brief cameo as Jesus in Superstar, and Steve Coogan also starred as school teacher playing Jesus in Hamlet 2 due for release in the UK in February next year (it was released in the US back in August). All of which got me thinking about various actors who would make a really good, or a really bad Jesus. Who do you think would portray a really good/bad film Jesus and why?
