Fashion designer, Tom Ford, has launched "penis-themed" designer
pendants that happen to be shaped like a cross. There are the gold and
silver versions and these pendants go for $790.
According to the Huffington Post on Thursday, the Catholic League for
Religious and Civil Rights has voiced their issues with the "penis
pendant necklace," calling the jewelry offensive and a "sick gambit."
The controversial necklaces are being sold on Ford's website and are
selling for $790 a piece. They are available in gold and silver and
come in three different sizes: small, medium and large. The Catholic
League is appalled because the penis-shaped pendant appears to be in
the shape of a cross. Catholic League president and CEO Bill Donahue
immediately attacked the 53-year-old fashion designer in a press
release
In the email he writes:
"A designer gets a little too cute with my religion at Christmas time,
and uses sexual imagery to make a quick buck off of it. Sounds like
someone who is not exactly Catholic-friendly, and has some sexual
hang-ups as well. It doesn't take a Ph.D. in profiling to guess just
who might be behind this sick gambit."
