Holy Vibrators Make Sex A Religious Experience

Cassie Murdoch — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:00:00 EST

When one thinks of a devout religious couple in bed together — as one so often does — giant, throbbing dildos and risqué lingerie aren't usually part of the picture. But that's about to change, thanks to a growing number of websites that have started selling religion-approved sex toys. These smart God-trepeneurs have figured out how to make money off the praying kind: by taking regular sex toys and turning them into special holy sex toys! Kind of like how its okay to drink the wine in church because you pretend its Jesus blood. Except in this case the vibrators and tubes of lube aren't receiving any kind of holy blessing — they're just being put in different, less tit-and-cock-laden boxes and described with less salacious copy.

Heathen Pink Bibles Pulled From Shelves Due To Nefarious Planned Parenthood Connection

Margaret Hartmann — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 09:50:00 EST

Nearly every product imaginable, from Band-Aids to KitchenAid mixers, is now available in pink, and Americans are constantly encouraged to buy these items to support the fight against breast cancer. So why is a Christian bookstore furiously pulling pink Bibles from its shelves? Because they raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which in turn funds Planned Parenthood's breast cancer programs. More »

The whole point of TLC's All-American Muslim — which follows families living in Dearborn, Michigan — is to humanize folks who live in the U.S. and practice Islam. They have close-knit relationships, love football, and feel anxious about the first day of school, just like any other Americans. But home improvement retailer Lowe's has pulled ads from the program following a complaint from the Florida Family Association. The Florida Family Association is allegedly devoted to "improving America's moral environment." Yet the group calls the show "propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values." More »

Fashion Designers Continue To Be Full Of Political Opinions

Sadie Stein — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:30:00 EST

Only one more day of having to listen to designers opine about politics! Marc Jacobs' L.A. windows are "set up with the Republicans menacingly on one side (with a particularly freaky-looking W) and brightly dressed Obama voters/supporters on the other. There's also a gun-toting Palin with a letter posted next to her image, which reads as follows: Dearest Citizens, I believe in, 1) No choice for you gals. 2) Creationism for you kids. 3) No rights for you gays and lesbians. 4) Everyone should own a gun! You gotta believe in something, baby!" [Racked]

Meanwhile, Henri Bendel stays neutral: "Today, the store will unveil its bipartisan windows featuring a group of five mannequins dressed in the latest cocktail dresses from Chloé & Reese and Greta Constantine. The girls are flanked by red and blue polling booths, each one representing a political party. Today, each mannequin can be seen with a large question mark above its head, but Wednesday morning, the question marks will be removed and the group will be placed in front of the winning voting booth. Several pounds of confetti will be thrown over the group in celebration of that party’s win." [WWD]

On Sunday, Pope Benedict named India's first...

Margaret Hartmann — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:20:00 EDT

On Sunday, Pope Benedict named India's first woman saint, Alphonsa, a nun who is credited with curing illness and disease after her death in 1946. Alphonsa had led a life of "extreme physical and spiritual suffering" according to the Pope, and deliberately disfigured herself at a young age to ward off suitors before entering the convent. Christians make up about 2 percent of India's population and Alphonsa is India's second saint after Gonsalo Garcia, who was canonized in 1862. Indian Roman Catholics are celebrating the canonization at a time when violence against Christians over religious conversions has left 35 people dead since the summer. In his statement, Pope Benedict called for an end to anti-Christian riots sparked by the murder of a Hindu leader in August. [Reuters] More »
