Its been ages since I added a new bra to the collection of Religious Bras, so here is one for the Bollywood fans…
Durga Delight Shakti Shocker!
Gain complete control of your Shiva’s naughty Nandi with this beautiful bra that will take all eyes off even the worst hairdo!
See the rest (of the bras, not the model!!!) here.
In response to shock and horror expressed over at the Bay of Fundie regarding my negligence at providing Michelle Duggar (mother of 17) with her own bra, I though I would think one up for someone who is obviously rather busy. From their website:
God has opened many doors for them to share that children are a blessing from the Lord! They have been featured on four Discovery Health / TLC documentaries entitled,“14 Children and Pregnant Again!”, “16 Children and Moving In!”, “Raising 16 Children!” & “On The Road With 16 Children!”. … The Duggar’s desire is to make Christ known and for others to see that the Bible is the owner’s manual for life.
Duggar “Deluxe Super Jerusalem Udder Access System with Maxi-Mammal Nozzle Augmentation Technology.” As is outlined in life’s own user manual (Isaiah 66:9-11)
“Shall I bring to the point of birth, and not give delivery?” says the LORD. “Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?” says your God. 10 “Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her; Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her, 11 That you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts, That you may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom.”Yes, you too can populate a whole city, just like in the Bible! For the rest of the bras, Go here (updated just a few days ago).
Snooping around for more religious outrage at modern “fashion”, ater the Hindu undies outrage, I found this Times of India article from May 2005.
A pair of women’s shoes allegedly showing Lord Rama made by French shoemaker Minelli has angered a pro-Hindu website, which has urged supporters to begin a letter-writing campaign to the shoemaker protesting against the product.
“It has come to the notice of Hindu Human Rights Group that you are currently marketing shoes with the pictures of our sacred and highly revered Hindu god Lord Rama printed on them,” said a letter sent to Minelli by Web-based activist group Hindu Human Rights Group (www.hinduhumanrights.org) .
“We wish to point out to you that Lord Rama thus illustrated is actually worshipped by millions of Hindus across the world. It stands to reason that such a display of contempt for the spiritual beliefs and practices of a billion Hindus worldwide is causing a sense of fury and outrage in the Hindu community and we have received numerous complaints from Hindus in France.”
I dedicate this post to Nicole because Hinduism is what she is studying and she likes shoes. She does not have three legs. Being a post-grad, we can assume she can identify which of the three shoes does not belong with the other two.
The Times of India reports that the government of the Indian state of Orissa has lodged a complaint with the U.S. embassy over the online retailer, cafepress.com that is advertising underwear with images of Hindu deities.
Orissa is “deeply shocked and concerned” over the “unscrupulous means of advertisement” of the company for commercial gain, Harichandan pointed out. Condemning the unethical use of India’s national flag, images of Lord Jagannath and other Hindu gods and goddesses on undergarments and dog-wear, the minister also demanded that the website should apologise.
The boxer is $16:99 and the thong $12:99 and there are tons of different designs. It is hard to see the boxer image, but since I don’t do close-ups of men’s undies, here is the same image on a hat. I have no idea if Orissa is mad about hats.
All of this points to the same kind of thing that led to the insane reaction of many Muslims to the Muhammad cartoons from a few years ago. India is having some real problems in adjusting to a secular world view, and it isn’t just over made-in-the-USA undies. A while back, a judge called two Hindu deities to appear in court over a property dispute. More interestingly, the Indian government stifled a report on a natural rock formation at a spot where they wanted to build a bridge but devotees say was built by the deity Ram.
Of course, Christianity has had to put up with a lot of crap over the years, some of it absolutely scandalous, that would not be fair to show you here. But here is an example (only for educational purposes, of course).
Educational, yes, but is it art?
Alright, Dr. Jim is not the sort of guy to spend much time thinking about jockstraps, but in the interests of gender equality, I thought I would post something in answer to the list of religious bras I made up last month.
SO, HERE IT IS: RELIGIOUS JOCK STRAPS AND THEIR ADVERTIZING SLOGANS: PART ONE.
Zen Buddhist “Satori Satchel” What is the sound of one log flopping? Whatever it is, we can fix it for you.
Roman Catholic ”True Confessions” Pope goes the Weasle.
Official Iranian Government ”President’s Choice Jock Strap” Based on the timeless elegance of the cat-o-nine-tails, our strap gaurantees that there are no jocks or men to lust after them in our country.
Hindu ”Sacred Thread Guru Ginch” Shiva yer Lingam in this and see how hard it is to renounce the world!
Mennonite “Conscientious Objectifier” Because the sin of lust is not as bad as the sin of going “commando”.
Militant Islamist “Jumpin’ Jihadi” ‘Cause we like the idea of going “commando”.
Christo-American Religious Right “Shock and Awe” For unashamedly big pricks.
Hare Krishna “Hare Harry” The finest saffron cloth so you can impress the gopi of your choice while you play your flute (Legal disclaimer: if you turn blue it is not because we improperly labelled the size. This is just part of your rising Krishna consciousness.)
More to follow (but I hope not).
I’ve moved all the bras to their own page. Here it is, the “Bra Page“
It will be easier to add more if I start thinking about that kind of thing again…
