Citizen Scandal: Priest Plans Beauty Pageant For Nuns

Vows of chastity, poverty and obedience are well and good, but what would make a nun really happy is to have guys ogle her on the internet. Father Antonio Rungi, a priest who lives outside of Naples, is planning an online beauty contest for the nuns of Italy. “Do you really think nuns are all wizened, funereal old ladies? Today it’s not like that any more, thanks to an injection of youth and vitality brought to our country by foreign girls…the Brazilian girls above all.” Well if you’re excited by the Brazillian girls, Father, we’re excited.

Don’t mistake Rungi’s proposed Sister Italia 2008 contest is a vulgar enterprise. The priest’s intention is not only to publicize the attractiveness of God’s private stock, but to open people’s minds to a new concept of beauty. “[It's] not just the plasticized beauty you see on television. There is also such a thing as a chaste ideal, which comes from the heart and the soul, and has a beneficial effect on those who come into contact with it.” No word on if beneficiaries will rate the nun’s “chaste ideal” on a scale of 1 to 10 or vote Hot or Not.
