Posing missionaries tout sex

I am totally bemused by the "Mormons Exposed" calendar. Posing shirtless as a returned missionary? Yeah, it's sort of funny. But would it be as funny to see returned sister missionaries posing in seductive clothing?

The message is confusing: "I am a chaste, clean missionary with a spiritual soul, but what I really want to sell you is a look at my body."

At the risk of sounding like an 18th-century spinster, those guys have got to realize that you are just touting sex. By the way, I personally liked the pictures better with their white shirts on. Very handsome.
