NAKED MEN? NUN FOR ME!

A fitness club ad running in Boston magazine that depicts nuns sketching a naked man has triggered protests among some members of the Bay State's Catholic community.

The ad for the Equinox Fitness Club is running in this month's issue and two Catholic organizations blasted the photo Tuesday, the Boston Herald reported, saying the Catholic League, the Archdiocese of Boston and the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts all decried the ad as offensive.

C.J. Doyle of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts told the Herald the ad "portrays a callous contempt for the sensibility of Catholics."

The fitness company responded with a written statement saying, "Our ad campaigns are based on personal motivation and fantasy and throughout history the body has been considered a form of art."

The company only has one gym in Boston.

Listen up ham slammers.

What a bunch of brave provocateurs that devised this advert! It sure is safe to belittle Catholicism, whose members are not likely to cut off your head off over an attempt at humor.

If these were truly brave, edgy hipsters the advert would have featured mullahs painting a nude woman.

Preferably me! Mum ZarQ still has the goods!
