A new PETA ad featuring Playboy cover girl and a “Dancing With the Stars” regular Joanna Krupa in nothing but a crucifix has got the Catholic church all up in arms. Fox 411 says

Krupa is seen topless and bottomless in the latest spot by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, her private parts covered — barely — by a large, well-placed metallic crucifix.

“It’s totally inappropriate,” the Catholic League President said in a statement. “The fact is that cats and dogs are a lot safer in pet stores than they are in the hands of PETA employees. Moreover, pet stores don’t rip off Christian iconography and engage in cheap irreligious claims.”

I’m glad that the Catholic Church is finally expressing outrage over something that merits this kind of attention. Crucifix-covered vaginas are so much more socially impacting and significant than, say, a chronic instances of child molestation at the hands of the practicing clergy. Good on the Catholic Church for finally taking a stand on the important issues.
