I kid you not, this is true. There was a big tabloid headline here yesterday (Wednesday) about whether or not a Bible themed nude woman calendar was going too far or not. Apparently someone got the idea that it would be a good marketing trick (don't know because I won't waste my money on those tabloids), and if nothing else, this will have the positive effect of causing collective apoplexy in the uptight fucks who keep preaching to us about evil and so forth.
Now a question: How would a Bible themed nudie calendar be received on the other side of the Atlantic? For some reason images of lynch mobs, pontificating presidents and frothing-at-the-mouth preachers spring to mind...
Escpilly since the Bible says only Married Foke should see each other naked...

See what happened after Dogma, that's probably what'll happen.
Sorry, Stormbringer, but I happened to miss that. I remember some article or other where that movie was discussed, probably in Time magazine, and I know it caused a furor, but how much of a one and how vitriolic, I actually have no real idea of.

Well, it was a rather massive shit storm among the relgious asshole set. They denounced the movie and scorn Kevin Smith like he was the Anti-Christ. Very big controversy.
That would never fly with any christian fundie I've encountered. My mother is nowhere near that bad, and she wouldn't excuse it. Besides, what kind of person would buy christian porn?

A bible themed nudie calendar would rock. Hardcore would be even better:
Show me the moment of Mary's alleged "immaculate" conception in all of its 12x16 glossy paper glory.
Give me a bir'd eye view of the debaucheries of Sodom.
Bear witness to Lot's drunken incestuous acts with his two virgin daughters which result in two babies.
Tongue firmly in cheek here. Such a nudie calendar would definitely ruffle a few feathers anywhere there are indignant christians to anger with the stories from the bible.

What goes around, comes around.
Hey! What about making an X-rated version of the bible story with all of the above? Oh, the possibillities...
I liked Dogma, it was clever and entertaining and good satire. I did not like, however, the way Kevin Smith played stupid when he came under fire from Catholic groups and acted like his movie wasn't deliberately designed to piss Catholics off. I mean, the movie went after pretty much everything the Church holds sacred. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but he should have been true to his movie.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.
Wasn't there once made a "papal hanky panky"-themed porn flick once?? I've heard vague hints of it, although if it exists, it probably sucks worse than a black hole.

There've been plenty of "naughty nun" movies over the years, so I wouldn't be surprised if somebody decided to one-up the others and do one about the pope. (Alexnder VI would be a good choice.)

Well there is the X-rated comic books: Black Kiss, Young Witches & yet another one that was an honest examination of the Inquisition.
Hmm, Ivana Borgia, what a woman....

You do realize that he didn't design it to attack Catholics? I was meant the highlight and lambast the kind of idiocy in the film and the people responsible for it. He's respectful of the basic ideas, not the people who exploit them.

Ahh.. Just what the Catholic Church needs to bring it into the 21st century. A few Borgia Party-Popes in quick succession.
