Who Says Sex & Religion Don't Mix?

I get a subscription to Playboy. Free. I have for years, and no idea why. I never renew, I never pay for it. But it comes in my box every month. I kinda assume that it's related to the books I've written, as if somehow my name got on a list of sex positive educators or something, and that gets you free Playboys. Pure speculation on my part.
This month's issue is all about nude college 'girls' form the Big 10. I think that if they're posing in Playboy they ought to be identified as women, but apparently the target market for Playboy prefers to think of women as girls.
Anyway. I have a ritual: I open the plastic casing my Playboy comes in, and I look for the bunny. Always one hidden on the cover; this month it was easy to find. Then I flip the magazine over, and get rid of all the inserts and paper bits. There's usually subscription cards and some ads. This month's full page, hard paper insert to playboy was this:
The pic's a little fuzzy, here, but you can go see the original on the Danbury Mint website.
It's a gold heart, with a fake diamond cross in the middle; around the outer edges are inscribed the first part of the Christian Lord's Prayer.
How's that for kinky? Is it just me, or does this stirke you as ironic also?

I feel a need to run to and get a Playboy all of a sudden! I don't grasp for kinky immediately or ironic either…not sure…how about a bunch of suites sitting around a table grasping for something different to shock on a Tuesday afternoon meeting…they don't have a lot left to play with in the shock department perhaps…why not through a little Lord into it…this usually gets the masses all stirred up…
Great blogs..btw!
I would assume they would be playing to the readers since of guilt. Its funny to sit back and watch an ad agency at work, its like monty python :)
But I like Monty Python!
