Joanna Krupa’s New PETA Ads Caused Controversy

Joanna Krupa Nude PETA Ad (usmagazine.com)

Making an advertisement is not easy. It should be nicely done, but also careful and respect others.

That’s the problem of Joanna Krupa’s new racy ads for PETA according to the Catholic League. The US’s largest Catholic civil rights organization condemned the ads because they exploited Christian symbols.

It’s a pretty solid protest, because in the ‘Be An Angel for Animals’ campaign, the Playboy model and Dancing with the Stars alum appears as a nude, winged angel: in one, she holds a strategically placed crucifix; in another, she holds her dog and a rosary. Although the meaning of the ads are good, but it appears not sensitive enough for the others.

On Tuesday, Krupa fired back in a statement, saying, “It’s understandable that the Catholic League is wary of another sex scandal, but the sex we’re talking about pertains to dogs and cats. As a practicing Catholic, I am shocked that the Catholic League is speaking out against my PETA ads, which I am very proud of. I’m doing what the Catholic Church should be doing, working to stop senseless suffering of animals, the most defenseless of god’s creation.”

Both have good points, and hopefully the controversy could be resolved nicely. Let’s consider it as a lesson to learn for making another ad in the future.
