The Catholic Church Doesn't Like This

When Peta put out this ad of Joanna Krupa practically masturbating with a crucifix while a bunch of sad dogs watched from below, they knew very well that the Catholic League would clutch their rosaries and shit communion wafers over this. Well, the Catholic Church has taken the bait and condemned this ad to the depths of Hell!

The President of the Catholic League issued this statement to Fox411: "The fact is that cats and dogs are a lot safer in pet stores than they are in the hands of PETA employees. Moreover, pet stores don't rip off Christian iconography and engage in cheap irreligious claims. PETA is a fraud. It also has a long and disgraceful record of exploiting Christian and Jewish themes to hawk its ugly services. Those who support this organization sorely need a reality check. They also need a course in Ethics 101."

Joanna Krupa, who considers herself a devout Catholic (meaning she owns the Chant CD), shot back at the Catholic League, "As a practicing Catholic, I am shocked that the Catholic League is speaking out against my PETA ads. I'm doing what the Catholic Church should be doing, working to stop senseless suffering of animals, the most defenseless of God's creation."

The Catholic League is talking about ethics, and Joanna Krupa says she is saving animals by getting nekkid with a crucifix?!? This is just too much. MIND BOGGLED. I would ask Mr. Catholic himself Mel Gibson to make sense of all of this, but I'm pretty sure he's busy "cleansing" this ad in private.

A little late but I just wanted to point out that it's a cross not a crucifix. The difference is, a crucifix has a dead Jesus nailed to it.

Dear PETA, please hire a less tacky/crappy photoshop "artist"(That also works for romance novels). Also, stop existing, nobody likes a self-righteous hippie.
Thanks.

I recall a radio interview some time ago with
some idiot from PETA,she stated we shouldn't eat
ANY animal products whatsoever but synthesise food
instead...Synthesise food? from what?,plants have
a central nervous system so perhaps because plants
don't bark or meow or moo or neigh or cluck or
squawk or hiss makes it ok to eat them?.She came
across as a total militant idiot...I hate PETA
just a bunch of troublemakers and uneducated
troublemakers at that..

I'm loathe animal cruelty..BUT I lovvvve chicken!
dumb pack of cunts!

umm hotney the Catholic Church does not approve of sexual abuse, and not every single person within the Catholic Church does so as well. This is really rude and I do find it offended. I am all for saving animals, and love them more than anything, but this is just ridiculous.

As a graphic designer with over 10 years experience, I can say that without a doubt, PETA's design team sucks. This is some lame and tacky shit, on several levels.

It's poorly conceived and even the shock value makes no sense. This isn't even one of their 'I'd rather be naked' ads.

THANKYOU! I agree. Come on PETA.

Horny morons.

This is quite disrespectful. I just continued to look past it. When I realized it wasn't another one of those annoying "I'd rather go naked..." ads, that's when I got mad. I am in no way a feminist or a Catholic but this ad is just exploitative of women and offensive to Catholics. I'm just disgusted. Peta makes me sick!

I'll tell you why PETA constantly exploits idiotic naked women in their ads - - because that's their target population: vain, narcissistic, pocket puppy carrying, bored, dumb, rich bitches, with nothing better to do than 'fight for the cute wittle puppies and kitties', i.e., have an excuse to be naked on an ad. Who the fuck do you think donates to PETA? Real humanitarians? Pffft. Anybody with ANY sense or education or real ethics knows what a crock of shit the whole organization is. Those who donate are likely bored, rich, superficial, ignorant housewives who want a 'cause' to feel like they're contributing SOMETHING to the world, but only a cause that is trendy and sexy. THAT is PETA in a nutshell. They're trying to make their organization sexy to appeal to sad, vain, USELESS women who desperately want to be seen as sexy.

Edit to say that I support the Humane Society and am a foster mom for my local shelter - HOWEVER, I do view this as a vanity project (I mostly do it because I like having adorable foster kittens and puppies running around my house for a few weeks) and not 'real' community service b/c I think it is much more important to take care of PEOPLE - and that's why I am on the local Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity and make that a higher priority than the Humane Society...I agree with the theory of: help animals where you can; adopt some if you can; don't support any kind of animal cruelty... but don't get too psycho about it. Animals are not people.

Very poor taste. I agree, if this were a Star of David or other religious symbol, the shit would hit the fan. Very disrespectful to use any religion's symbol in a way that you know is extremely offensive to that religion.

But it's PETA, what did we expect - - class? Manners? Respect? Fucking PETA. I did appreciate the support statement for pet stores by the CL - kind of funny.

If they wouldn't have had the cross or cathedral, it still would have made sense. They just enjoy and thrive on controversy. In fact, they probably DEPEND on it in order to stay relevant.

KD's picture

when I "bought" my dog from a friend, I called it adopting. Its not like he wanted the puppy. I rescued him from going to a different home! :P I don't like adopting from shelters because they are invasive on my privacy and charge a lot of money.

While I'm barely a Catholic now, I gotta say...that just aint right!!! I may have strayed from the perverbial flock but my first thought was..WTF! Regardless of this pic, these PETA people should all be shot and ground up for dogie food.

P.T.Bull's picture

Peta is staffed by some really emotionally broken people. In my non-celebrity world, they have no influence and are considered a joke when they do get the occasional headline with their latest ridiculous pronouncement.

Transgressive art is boring and born of lack of true creativity and talent--that is axiomaic. Obviously a bunch of has-beens appearing nude but not really showing anything has become yesterday's news, and now they have to offend religious people to get their next headline.

So PETA is now fighting for animal rights by exploiting a woman's body? How original! As far as I understand this ad is not about wearing fur or making fur out of dogs' skin. So why is that woman naked? It's no wonder that hardly anyone takes them seriously. They don't even care who they choose for their spokesperson. Many of them turn out to be two-faced liars who were only in it for the publicity. And then the kittens of the sea nonsense. Idiots!

First of all I despise PETA. The attention is always on them not the animals who need help. Not to mention their bullshit antics turn people off not on toward animal causes.

Having said that, this ad is riCOCKulous. The angel is stepping on the dogs head. Way to stick it to the catholics PETA. Depict them as animal stomping, angels.

@lil rascal

Sikhs wear turbans, not Hindus but Sikhism originated in Punjab, which is in India. So I see how you can get a lil confused. Also Islam's crescent symbol is appropriated from the Hindu god, Shiva's headpiece.

OT: It's not so much the nudity but the fact that she's basically fucking herself with the crucifix. I don't care either way, it's the bad photoshopping that scares me. Doesn't anyone feel it looks almost like a cartoon?

What the Catholic League -- and everyone else -- needs to do is not pay attention to PETA. Those hos feed off the craziness their ad campaigns engender. Look back to the 90s, when Melissa Etheridge & Julie Cypher posing was such a controversy. Now no one would blink, so PETA keeps upping the ante.

I personally support shelter animals with my pocketbook -- all five of the four-footed crew are rescue chirren -- but Ingrid Newkirk & Dan Mathews are bad news from every angle.

Bill Donohue has a long history of getting upset about everything even vaguely related to the Catholic Church. I give him about as much credit as I do PETA.

Isn't it convenient how all Christians now rush to protect all Jews and the Jewish faith? They didn't seem too concerned about their wellbeing before. Funny it's now that we have another "Other" religion to hate. And this asshole Catholic League President seems very uninterested in saving animals.

And another thing, why do so many say PETA is an evil organization? I hear some people say that. Is it just b/c they use unconventional tactics such as throwing fake blood on fur coats that offends these people, or is it truly a most crooked organization? Either way, I strongly stand by defending animals and I don't care if this girl shows her "bits" to do it if it accomplishes something (which I doubt).

Sikhs wear turbins. Not Hindus. Sikhism is a fairly young religion and it's sort of a half-way point between Islam and Hinduism since it started in Punjab, where Islam and Hindu communities often clashed.

angel i - it IS like that! i have ventured over there before, but never needled them to see the lengths they go to.

i would think, in all honesty, that with fans like that, brad and angelina better have some serious bodyguard action.

and about this picture (cause i dont wanna get in trouble), i hate the way the new normal is to airbrush till it looks like a comic book illustration.

What is it about NEKKIDNESS that churchy peeps get so up in they panties about?

I think the issue here is not the naked part, but that she's naked and with a crucifix and somehow it has something to do with dogs...yeah...and on top of that she's using the cross to cover her "bits". Angels are often depicted stark naked or fully clothed, covering their parts with a cross just seems totally weird. Like a playboy move of strategically placing a hand her or there to cover something.
*****************************************

Still gets a 'meh' from me...I just don't see how this is offensive? Catholics belive you can't have a crucifix on a nekkid body? Catholics don't like dogs? What? What? So she's nekkid posing as a nekkid angel (who isn't a CHILD like most depictions of nekkid angels which is arguably more disturbing but inarguably ironic considering...) I mean, if your mind is perpetually in the gutter, you can read all kinds of things into this, and quite frankly, I'm not surprised the Catholic church did...(considering...)
