Holy Crap, You're Telling Me The Virgin Mary Had Boobs?

Chilean designer Ricardo Oyarzun has managed to get Santiago's Catholic moral majority all a fluster by the merest suggestion that Holy Mary mother of God might have actually had a nice set of cans. In fact he pissed them off so badly with his new collection which featured a whole bunch of busty Virgin Mary approximations that he has received telephone threats and had shit smeared on his doorstep. A conservative group even took out a court injunction trying to block the show going ahead at all.

Chile's Episcopal Conference issued a statement about the show saying: "We look on with special pain and deplore acts which seek to tarnish manifestations of sincere love towards the Virgin Mary, which end up striking at the dignity of womankind by presenting her as an object of consumption." The launch at a Santiago nightclub went off last night without a hitch though and Oyarzun was pretty contrite: "there is no pornography here, there's no sex, there are no virgins menstruating or feeling each other up".

If the Chilean bible belt wanted to lynch him for showing some cleavage imagine how far they'd go for a scenario like that? Guy makes it sound like he could have recreated the Sextrash sleeve.
