Playboy cover very controvercial in Mexico

The popular men's magazine is under fire in Mexico after choosing to place an almost naked girl with only a shawl/blanket covering her (resembling the Virgin Mary) and placing her next to a stained glass window. During the month of December (the 12th) they celebrate the Virgins "day" as she is one of the most popular religious icons in Mexico. Under the picture were the words, "Te adoramos Maria" translated to, " We Love/adore you Maria." Playboy, insisted that the model on the cover is really named Maria, but the damage was done. I think it would probably be a good idea to avoid defacing religious icons for any business that needs people to buy their products. At the end of the day, I'm sure everything will work out fine for the magazine, cause their base (mostly men) is sure to be more forgiving than the clergymen and women who were offended.
