Don’t fuck with the Jesus!
So, Playboy Enterprises is planning to shutdown its Portuguese edition because of a controversial cover depicting Jesus Christ, even though this was an homage to the recently deceased Nobel-winning portuguese writer José Saramago and his book The Gospel According to Jesus Christ.
If I may, as portuguese myself, offer a few words of advice to Playboy Enterprises:
Lighten the fuck up! Even though Portugal is (still) a heavily catholic country, its people has a sense of humor (disregarding our current President) and has a much healthier approach towards sex and religion than, apparently, the USA.
It’s sad that people are going to lose their jobs simply because they dared to be a little edgy.
Anyway, here’s an old portuguese joke:
— Do you know there’s going to be a new bridge over Tejo? They’re giving the Cristo-Rei viagra!
