/sigh
Our current society is so incredibly sensitive it makes me cringe at the things we find offense too.
A naked woman with a cross is offensive? Give me a break, how about a naked woman and a fish? Guess not since most don’t know the history of Ichthys. As a Catholic what I find offensive are those who call themselves “christian” but do not abide by the teachings of Christ and want to marginalize others. “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Matthew 7:1)

First off, ancient pre-Christian use of a symbol has absolutely nothing at all to do with Christian use of this symbol. There was no linkage of any kind like that, in the case of this particular symbol. You are interjecting an obvious red herring into this subject by saying that.
The people who are really being marginalized here are Christians, to have such solemn religious symbols like this be misused to promote an organization’s own agenda. It is disrespectful in every way possible to claim that if you are a Christian, that you have to agree with PETA’s viewpoint on any issue.
And that is clearly what this image is trying to imply.
Perhaps you want to see all of the women in the world nude, including even images of naked nuns.
But there is already more than enough nudity in the world to go around, without interjecting it into a religious context, to further someone’s agenda.

Gorgeous! Should read not only adopt — but spay and neuter too!Thank you Joanna, you are gorgeous.

7 Things You Didn’t Know About PETA
(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
1) According to government documents, PETA employees have killed more than 19,200 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens since 1998. This behavior continues despite PETA’s moralizing about the “unethical” treatment of animals by farmers, scientists, restaurant owners, circuses, hunters, fishermen, zookeepers, and countless other Americans. PETA puts to death over 90 percent of the animals it accepts from members of the public who expect the group to make a reasonable attempt to find them adoptive homes. PETA holds absolutely no open-adoption shelter hours at its Norfolk, VA headquarters, choosing instead to spend part of its $32 million annual income on a contract with a crematory service to periodically empty hundreds of animal bodies from its large walk-in freezer.
2) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means the complete abolition of meat, milk, cheese, eggs, honey, zoos, aquariums, circuses, wool, leather, fur, silk, hunting, fishing, and pet ownership. In a 2003 profile of Newkirk in The New Yorker, author Michael Specter wrote that Newkirk has had at least one seeing-eye dog taken away from its blind owner. PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals, including research aimed at curing AIDS and cancer.
3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to Rodney Coronado, an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) serial arsonist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing memorandum, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich has also told an animal rights convention that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation,” adding, “Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it.”
4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, even waiting outside their schools to intercept them without notifying their parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: “Your Mommy Kills Animals!” PETA brags that its messages reach over 1.2 million minor children, including 30,000 kids between the ages of 6 and 12, all contacted by e-mail without parental supervision. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel’s audience: “Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be.”
5) PETA’s president has said that “even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.” And PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, solely because they support animal-based research aimed at curing life-threatening diseases and birth defects. And PETA helped to start and manage a quasi-medical front group, the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, to attack medical research head-on.
6) PETA has compared Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust to farm animals and Jesus Christ to pigs. PETA’s religious campaigns include a website that claims—despite ample evidence to the contrary—that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs “died for their sins.” PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn’t be allowed. And its infamous “Holocaust on Your Plate” campaign crassly compared the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide to farm animals.
7) PETA frequently looks the other way when its celebrity spokespersons don’t practice what it preaches. As gossip bloggers and Hollywood journalists have noted, Pamela Anderson’s Dodge Viper (auctioned to benefit PETA) had a “luxurious leather interior”; Jenna Jameson was photographed fishing, slurping oysters, and wearing a leather jacket just weeks after launching an anti-leather campaign for PETA; Morrissey got an official “okay” from PETA after eating at a steakhouse; Dita von Teese has written about her love of furs and foie gras; Steve-O built a career out of abusing small animals on film; the officially “anti-fur” Eva Mendes often wears fur anyway; and Charlize Theron’s celebrated October 2007 Vogue cover shoot featured several suede garments. In 2008, “Baby Phat” designer Kimora Lee Simmons became a PETA spokesmodel despite working with fur and leather, after making a $20,000 donation to the animal rights group.

I find Christianity and PETA offensive in equal measure. The naked woman can stay.

Thanks for the interesting post, Elizabeth.
I have no respect for what PETA does. Period.

J. Krupa is a beautiful model, a cover girl, in the business of modeling. PETA caught everyone’s attention, and she is a lovely representative of an innocent angel, especially with all the little dog faces around her. A lot of people seem to have an axe to grind about PETA, I really don’t know why except they are a little extreme in breaking into labs, etc. that I’ve read about in the news. They seem to try and help unfortunate forgotten animals, so should be commended for that. As far as the RCC, they don’t have a patent on either crosses or angels, so they seem extreme in their criticisms to me.

Interesting to note that the USDA has classified PETA as a domestic terrorist organization:

Just because I like to be immature, I’d like to make the comment, that I didn’t even notice PETA’s point behind this ad. Kudos to the HOT chick standing up in the middle for her religion. LOL

It takes a lot to offend me, but that Ad is WAY tacky!
Who the heck does PETA think their members are that would be interested in looking at a stupid, rude and immature Ad like that?
I do not proclaim to be Christian by any means, but to use a symbol of other peoples’ Faith to cover her “parts” is SO disrespectful. Why didn’t they just have her masturbate with it? I don’t think that would have been much more offensive.
PETA is about loving and caring for ANIMALS, not trying to compete with porn!

You god fearing types amuse me … wake up it’s 2009 … there is NO god! Great picture.
