Portrait of Sinful Sisters

A fitness club ad running in Boston magazine that depicts nuns sketching a naked man has triggered protests.
The Catholic League, the Archdiocese of Boston and the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts have all said the controversial Equinox Fitness Club ad is offensive to their communities, stating that the picture: "portrays a callous contempt for the sensibility of Catholics."
The fitness company responded with a written statement saying, "Our ad campaigns are based on personal motivation and fantasy, and throughout history, the body has been considered a form of art."
