Mormon Beefcake Calendar - Men on a Mission

I happened to see a brief comment about this fund raising catalogue last night on MSNBC and thought I'd see if I could find out more about it online. Sure enough, I found the web site (http://www.mormonsexposed.com/). I am sure Mitt Romney is happy that the LDS is doing something to losen up the view of Morons as staid and not fun loving. These boys are rather cute too, so I will post separate missionaries in future posts. This information is from the web site:

The 2008 Men on a Mission calendar features twelve handsome returned Mormon missionaries from across the United States who, for the first time ever, have dared to pose bare-chested in a steamy national calendar.

While the fact that twelve young returned missionaries are posing shirtless will certainly raise eyebrows, it may also help to sort out some common misconceptions of Mormons by celebrating the beautiful bodies, great looks and amazing stories of service of these deeply spiritual men. Intended to be a light-hearted spin on a social taboo, the Men on a Mission calendar is a tongue-in-cheek celebration of the selfless servitude of missionaries.
Each of the twelve missionaries will have the opportunity to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the calendar to a cause in the area he served. Some of the charities supported will include the Red Cross, Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.
