Default Poster of naked Virgin Mary sparks unholy row

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/nzealand...K3aWIsNGgeO7gF

WELLINGTON (AFP) – A church billboard showing an apparently naked Virgin Mary and Joseph in bed together has sparked the ire of conservative Christians in New Zealand.
On the poster a sad-looking Joseph lies next to Mary, whose face is turned heavenwards under the words: "Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow."

Apparently conservative Christians find this poster offensive. duh and why wouldn't they? I personally find it quite amusing, being non religious. But the fact that it was put up there by a church meant to challenge literal interpretations of the Bible is the interesting story here IMO.
