BeautifulPeople.com Thrown Off eBay For Auctioning Date With The Virgin Mary An internet dating site has been thrown off eBay for auctioning a date with the Virgin Mary. Miss Seychelle is pictured wearing a low-cut blue robe and posing with male model Dorion Renaud, 23, who played Joseph 06 Dec 2011 BeautifulPeople.com encouraged men to bid for a date with blonde Heather Seychelle, 25, shown dressed in a "sexy" Mary outfit. Miss Seychelle appears in the dating site's nativity scene and attracted hordes of male fans.
Controllers at eBay pulled the listing – complaining it contained "adult content". Heather said: "I'm a single girl and I joined the website to find love, so I hope I meet a nice boy. "It's crazy that eBay got rid of our auction on their site. The money is for charity."
Greg Hodge, managing director of the site, said: "eBay accused us of posting adult content onto their website – but we simply uploaded portrait photos of our nativity stars as they appear on our home page in the hope we'd raise money for charity.
"We were forced to quickly build our own auction platform and gather blind bids, through our website. "We are confident we can still raise a decent amount of money and will announce the winner on January 5."
Mr Hodge added: "It's not like we were the first to auction a date on eBay. Scarlet Johansson auctioned herself on the site for Oxfam. "I'm also not sure how our posting is adult content. Everyone is dressed and although Mary is busty, she has just given birth to Jesus." BeautifulPeople.com is a global dating site with 730,000 members.

Christians, Jews and the overweight, the only groups who are not in a “protected” class.
Probably not. I suspect one doesn’t look too beautiful with their head lopped off.
Buncha perverted sick tasbards. Messing with Jesus Mama is very bad for the eternal rewards dept.
"Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. ---Leviticus 26:1
The whole membership will be cursed!

Kudos to ebay for booting this off. I never use ebay anymore after a bad experience (it is not an honest company) but I’ll give credit where credit is due.
