Do you believe that Kate Upton’s Nun-Inspired Dress is sacrilegious? (Video)



Kate Upton’s racy nun-inspired swimsuit in the movie The Three Stooges has outraged a religious group, which has accused the makers of being sacrilegious. The Sports Illustrated model - who plays the voluptuous Sister Bernice in the slapstick comedy - appears in a very revealing ‘nun-kini’ in the film, complete with a headdress and crucifix resting on her ample cleavage.







The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, which was established in 1973, has accused 20th Century Fox of being gratuitous and not in the same spirit as the original series.
“In the 1950s, Hollywood generally avoided crude fare and was respectful of religion,” Contactmusic quoted Catholic League president Bill Donohue as saying.

“Today it specialises in crudity and trashes Christianity, especially Catholicism,” he said.
Donohue went on to say that the reboot portrayal of the classic comedy trio is a reflection of the way society has changed. “The movie is not just another remake: It is a cultural marker of sociological significance, and what it says about the way we’ve changed is not encouraging,’ he said.“The TV show never mocked nuns or showed infants urinating in the face of the Stooges. The film does,” he said. But the makers, 20th Century Fox has fought back, defending the movie against Donohue’s remarks. “The movie, in keeping with the spirit of the original TV show and its stars, is a broad, slapstick comedy,” a Fox spokesman told The Hollywood Reporter. As the Stooges have proved over time, laughter is a universal medicine. The nuns that Mr. Donohue alludes to, are in fact, caring, heroic characters in the movie, albeit within the framework of a very broad comedy.


“And as far as the nun attire, I think we did the audience a favour by letting Kate Upton wear the nun-kini rather than Larry David — it could have gone either way.
