The controversial Portuguese edition of Playboy features images of a Jesus Christ figure with nude models watching two lesbians, and the magazine's cover has a heavily-tattooed model dying in his arms. This special edition was a tribute to Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago’s 'The Gospel According to Jesus Christ,' which depicts Jesus Christ as a flawed human character.
Of course, this editorial created controversy among the Roman Catholic Church, and Playboy Enterprises has since decided to terminate the agreement with the Portuguese publisher after the heated incident.
