Playboy Aplogizes For Virgin Whore

Filed under: Playboy

playboycover.jpg

The Mexican edition of Playboy magazine has stirred up some mayjah controversy by putting a nude model resembling the Virgin Mary on the cover.

The mag hit newsstands on December 1, just days before the Mexican's pilgrimage to the Mexico City shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

On the cover, the Virgin Mary lookalike is seen wearing nothing more than a white cloth over her head and breasts, standing in front of a stained glass window, and with the cover line "We Love You, Maria" in Spanish.

The Virgin of Guadalupe and the annual pilgrimage to her shrine is one of the world's largest religious activities. The cover has since caused outrage and prompted Playboy's U.S. headquarters to apologize.

In a statement released by Chicago-based Playboy Enterprises Inc, the top heads said the Mexican edition of the magazine is published by a licensee. Therefore they did not approve or endorse the cover.

Uh huh!

They say, "While Playboy Mexico never meant for the cover or images to offend anyone, we recognize that it has created offense, and we as well as Playboy Mexico offer our sincerest apologies."

They didn't intend to offend - just TITillate!

Playboy Mexico's publisher, Raul Sayrols, said "The image is not and never was intended to portray the Virgin of Guadalupe or any other religious figure. The intent was to reflect a Renaissance-like mood on the cover."

A Renaissance-like mood for Christmas?

Riiiiight.

  9. 9

    There is no huge accomplishment in being in playboy. For all the women/men (for playgirl) to pose in that magazine and think it's an incredible career move are deluded and ignorant.

    they have some nerve pulling this one…



  21. 21

    Ugh this is another reason I am not a Mexican Catholic…..so hypocritical….I grew up in a "catholic" home, yet all my fucking uncles were molesters and all my aunts just sat back and sucked it up when my uncles were out all night fucking around with whores. They act so pure and this cover here is so offensive to them, Mexico should sit back and focus on the real issue in that damn country. Which is the cartel going around muredering innocent people and dirty cops. Thank GOD I was born and raised in this beautiful US of A!!!!!

    Re: mama of 2 – Just busy with shit. Has Letty been kidnapped? WTF?



  23. 23

    freshhh



  34. 34

    wow…extremely bad taste on playboys part…



  35. 35

    How unoriginal Playboy Mexico! But lets think about this, it's not like the picture is showing her doing anything lewd or sinful… It could have been a really hot day in Mexico for all we know, and even the Virgin of Guadalupe can't escape the paps. ;) My question is, what are all these virtuous religious folk doing seeking out Playboy mags in the first place? Is that not first sinful? Priorities boys… Playboy Mexico need not apologize.



  36. 36

    Re: ethereal – so angry



  37. 37

    What the fuck us up with her head? It's obviously photoshopped on! Unless she has some weird giraffe like neck that sticks out at a 90 degree angle?



  38. 38

    pgj



  39. 39

    Re: mama of 2 – Nope. Just a fake one to give her my real one. The one I put up is kaput. I would never put my real one up.

  45. 45

    Tasteless..provocative..hang on, everything that Playboy should be? Subject matter aside that is a shit cover, I mean the photograph is pathetic and the whole thing looks amateur…
    Think about it peeps, we're in a recession right? Magazine and newspaper sales are plummeting! I know..lets put a nice controversial cover out to get some much needed sales and publicity….what a crock and hey, it's working!
    Remember, there is NO SUCH THING as bad publicity..eh Perez? x



  46. 46

    LOL FUNNY THAT YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO CRITICIZE ON THIS ONE SINCE YOU KEEP ON CALLING ANGELINA THE PUBLIC SKANK A SAINT… I DON'T THINK THAT'S ANY BETTER THAN THAT REALLY BAD PIC… BEING OR NOT CONTROVERSIAL IS NOT THE ISSUE, THE PIC IS REALLY REALLY BAD.
    ALSO, YOU SAY A VERY LOOK ALIKE VIRGIN MARY… MMM HAVE YOU EVER SEEN VIRGIN MARY TO KNOW THAT SHE IS A LOOKALIKE???



  47. 47

  64. 64

    How could they think they would get away with that? What dumb asses. If you think about it thoug- Who made the first complaint about this cover? Someone religious? Why would they be looking at Playboy to begin with if they're so righteous?



  65. 65

  70. 70

    hahaha. I feel sorry for them when I see them praying at that 2000 year old thing most of us in the Western Hemisphere already consider a myth… And specially when I see Mexican's doing it. It's like "HELLO?? This religion KILLED your people!!!!" why follow it with so much devotion?



  71. 71

    FUCK THOSE PEOPLE WHO MADE THAT! MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL!

    THIS BITCH DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MAMA MARY! MAMA MARY IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THIS PIECE OF SHIT!

  74. 74

    Re: marijon – Wow your a rotten piece of shit.



  75. 75

    At least she wasn't posing spread eagle.



  76. 76

    Which is worse, Playboy showing a chick that "might" resemble a virgin or a wannabe good Catholic buying a mag to masturbate to? Personally, I'd never confuse a chick that gets naked for money with a virgin, but I guess some Catholics in Mexico do.



  77. 77

    I'm not religious and even I see where that picture could be incredibly offensive, especially in a Catholic country!



  78. 78

    Its ok to mock the Virgin Mary, it's not ok to treat people like retards.
    '
    Renaissance-like mood my ass. I suppose people buys this shit for the articles too.



  79. 79

    LMAO Virgin Mary,people still believe that…update your source of knowledge regarding religion people. Hell is life on earth Ethereal.



  80. 80

    OMG, I'm a baptist christian, there quite strict but I'm not even offended by this! She's not nude, all you see is cleavage what's the friggin' problem?



  81. 81

    The Devil always wants to stain the pure…



  82. 82

    I would like to see them try this with the muslims!



  83. 83

    ALI LOHAN!!!!



  84. 84
