Why does the Joanna Krupa peta ad topic page say that there's a "crucifix" over her nipples, when it's actually just a cross?

Tip for best answer: M$0.30
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You are correct, on Krupa Peta Ad she is holding on ornate cross but is not a crucifix at least to my eyes. A crucifix is properly defined as "a representation of Christ on the cross" from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Crucifix. The Catholic League complained that the ad "exploits Christian symbols." The incorrect characterization of the cross as a crucifix seems to be pretty much rampant in the online media.

Exploits Christian symbols? The cross is an implement of torture and punishment. I recognize it's use and history but Christians hardly have a copyright on the device. But it's clear the device is being used in association with Heaven and Angel symbology. Perhaps the picture would have also been possible if she was hiding her naughty bits with a harp instead.

As a photographer I applaud the creative use of the T shape though.

I wonder how PETA justified the use of Feathers for wings. Isn't that exploiting and using birds the same way leather and fur uses other animals?

I think they didn't think it all the way through... but it's a great way to get otherwise potentially modest models to pose nude. Go PETA!

Yes, very good eye indeed! I have updated the main content and fast facts of the page to now include the word "cross" instead of crucifix :-)
