Jesus always said he would return, and while thousands around the world think their latest burn toast or cheesy wheat snack has turned into his re-incarnation, we all know Jesus is much cooler than that. No, you see when Jesus returns his attention would turn to Playboy for sure, I mean you don’t become the son of God and not have connections.
Thing is, this month, Jesus has returned to earth as he appears in the Portuguese version of Playboy. The idea was to mark Nobel winner Jose Saramago’s death with inspiration taken from his novel ” The Gospel According to Jesus Christ” which references Jesus as a flawed human being.
Jesus Christ wasn’t a stranger to controversy two thousand years back, so he probably won’t be too surprised that the Playboy company plans to shut down the Portuguese version. Yes, Jesus Christ really can cause that much of a stir, apart from raising from the dead and everything.
Playboy Enterprises stated: “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.”
To be honest though when most magazines are folding due to poor circulation and readership, when your magazine folds because it is too controversial for todays society, you know you went out in style…
